Uma vez identificadas, essas estratégias podem ser usadas para caracterizar uma linguagem e gerar novas composições dentro da mesma lógica. O método da Gramática da Forma* tem sido utilizado na análise de obras de arquitetos reconhecidos. Pretende-se neste estudo, com a utilização deste método, interpretar regras que definem uma linguagem e os elementos que formam padrões de projeto no trabalho de um arquiteto ainda não estudado e reconhecido. Averiguar a existência de uma lógica subjacente no conjunto de seu trabalho, ou pelo menos em uma fase dele, também é o objetivo deste estudo. Um estudo do método escolhido foi realizado, por meio da literatura disponível sobre trabalhos correlatos. A seguir foi feito um levantamento de dados sobre o arquiteto, suas obras e suas influências. As obras que compõem o corpus da pesquisa foram selecionadas, redesenhadas e modeladas em 3D. Um exercício de aplicação da Gramática da Forma foi então realizado, com a identificação das regras que, combinadas, revelaram elementos e procedimentos que caracterizam a linguagem do arquiteto e suas influências. Ao final do exercício, novas regras foram criadas, possibilitando assim a criação de dois novos exemplares na linguagem identificada, numa aplicação didática da pesquisa realizada / Abstract: The study of shapes as a tool of analysis in design, based on matching possibilities of elements and operations, can disclose generation strategies of particular shapes from a determined architect. These strategies can, once proved its existence, characterize a style that can be used in the generation of new compositions in architecture. The method known as Shape Grammar*, has been used in the analysis of designs of recognized architects. It is intended in this research, with the use of this method, to interpret rules that define a language and identify elements that define design patterns in the work of an architect not yet studied and recognized. To certify the existence of underlying logic in the set of his work, or in phases of it, is also the goal of this study. A study of the chosen method was implemented by the analysis of available literature on related works. Then a research of data-collecting on the architect, his building designs and influences was made. The designs that compose the corpus of the research had been selected, redesigned and modeled in 3D. An exercise of application of Shape Grammar then was carried through, with the identification of the rules that, combined, had disclosed elements and procedures that characterize the language of the architect and its influences. To the end of the exercise, new rules had been created, thus making possible the generation of two new designs in the identified language, in a didactic application of the research accomplished / Mestrado / Arquitetura e Construção / Mestre em Engenharia Civil

Language, identity and the role of architecture as across- cultural mediator

Millar, Matthew 28 January 2014 (has links)
M.Tech. (Architectural Technology) / This thesis deals with the reappropriation of an existing parking garage into a language institute at Constitution Hill. Through the generation of a flu id conversation between architecture and people this thesis aims to address the underlying social miscommunication present within South African society through a socially motivated architectural manifestation. The underlining aim of this thesis will be the generation of a socially orientated architectural platform that allows and encourages cross-pollination. This architectural platform will revolve around and investigate the many opportunities that language offers asa social mediator and how these opportunities can aid in the democratization of identity generation. This new approach will be more representative of the complex multicultural society that is present within South Africa and as a result will end up being more democratic in nature.
