La estructura como organizador espacial en un edificio moderno

Abstract

An architectural project expresses the concept and ideology, was intended; first performance in a sketch, as an approach to the meaning of the work; but the use of a suitable structural system, it performs in many cases isolation and suffering it causes modifications, generating functional problems, and ultimately distorts the true concept of this.

Proper design increases the welfare of people, their quality of life; adequate structural system significantly contributes to the functionality of a building.

It will be analyzed from a global perspective, examples in which the structure plays an important role in the design of a building, and then analyze and evaluate the work done by Arch. Mario Roberto Alvarez, one of the most important examples of architecture modern, that gives relevance within the architectural context of the structural system. Three buildings of his own, that have provided structural systems of conceptual rigor and consistency to modern architectural forms will be analyzed; in order to show how the structure becomes a spatial organizer of a building, gathering information and photographic documentation of each, as well as photographic surveys; and after this, analyze the main architectural influences, the impact of the structure on each of them from considering architecture as a functional art, the hypothesis arises whether these systems are suitable for achieving optimal functionality and finally the basic guidelines for a desirable future will be presented.
