Recursos gráficos e digitais para a compreensão do uso do conceito de proporção junto à produção arquitetônica: uma abordagem didática.

Abstract

The analysis of referential works of architecture is traditionally used as a teaching strategy for the introduction of design activity. Exercises analysis from the point of view of geometric can help in the comprehension of logical, spatial organization and formal definition, employed by different architects. This study, based on these considerations and in particular, the recognition that analysis on the use of the concept of proportion allows us to understand certain projective logic used throughout the history of architecture, invests in structuring a teaching method. This study contributes to teaching practice for the initial stages of architectural, to be used especially in the context of disciplines of geometry and graphical representation. This study search to review the importance of the concept of proportion in architecture and its explanation according to different authors. Were revised the analysis tools and its appropriation in teaching, as well as the use of advanced visualization technology to support analysis procedures. Thus it was possible to characterize two types "proportion measurer": traditional and virtual. With this, try to transpose practice with augmented reality configuring a “digital proportion measurer”. During the didactic design was recognized repertoire of parameters analyzes of works of architecture employed by students prior to the study. The structuring of the teaching method was developed for a specific discipline but with the intention of flexibility so they may be transposed to other contexts. Thus the experimentation didactic method was performed in different teaching contexts from the initial stages of architectural training, even in postgraduate and extension courses. This study developed an educational method that included the structuring of teaching practices and building tools and materials which could then support the analysis on the use of the concept of proportion in architecture activities. We therefore believe that this study may facilitate the analysis process under the concept of proportion.
