Representações didáticas de arquitetura : um caso aplicado ao Edifício da Fundação Iberê Camargo de Álvaro Siza.

Abstract

The Iberê Camargo Foundation is an internationally awarded building and arouses the interest of lay and non-lay individuals through its architecture. When visiting and experiencing the work appear curiosities about the logics of formal delimitation employed by the architect. In order to identify the speeches of the architect Álvaro Siza himself and of architectural critics about his design process, referring to the strong association of memory, place and geometry with his architecture, he sought to understand the strategies employed by the architect in the design of said building. The study was supported by the theories of Vilém Flusser, particularly in the theory of the escalation of abstraction and game theory, through associations with the logic of the architectural design process. It started from the formal analysis of the building, which provoked reflections on the repertoire, the rules, the combinations that Siza used for the Foundation's project. The results were translated into didactic games: a memory game through letters and a threedimensional puzzle, in the expectation that these resources could contribute to the practices in the design workshops of the architecture faculties.
