Objetos de aprendizagem para promover a apreensão e criação da forma arquitetônica

Abstract

In the early stages of teaching / learning process of architectural design there is an interest that students acquire a preliminary geometric vocabulary that assists in understanding the architectural form. Activities supported by case studies of architecture have traditionally been contributing to this purpose. However, it identifies new approaches, such as those presented by the shape grammar, under the parameters that incorporate geometric point of view to facilitate the systematic analysis of activity and formal architectural compositions, such as vocabulary and rules employed. This study focuses on producing materials that meet the knowledge structures of two approaches to characterization of shape: on the one hand, the digital graphic representation noting its potential to deepen the geometrical knowledge, and secondly, knowledge of the theory Grammar of the way, as a way to expand and support the analysis activity, representation of architectural form and especially enhance creative processes of formal compositions. Relying on the approach of metacognition, it is considered that the materials resulting trigger reflective processes about the configuration of architectural form, activating prior knowledge of students to design, contributing to the purpose of expanding the geometric vocabulary and repertoire for the early stages of architectural design practice. The activity of identifying knowledge structures, in this study shows also as a strategy for approaching the concept of learning objects, in the matters of granularity.
