Acción y experiencia en la arquitectura. Materia y corporalidad en la enseñanza de la era tecnológica.

Patricia Guaita

This doctoral thesis focuses on a particular aspect of architectural learning as embodied cognition by studying, from a multidisciplinary approach, the creative processes and design actions that accompany the conception and construction of space. Due to the profound transformations carried out by the culture of digitalization, from many fields there is a growing interest in vindicating the manual and physical in the process and transmission of thought in the design process. In this context, this research aims to review and update the creative spaces of action and experience of the architect. From an openness to a plurality of registers, both theoretical and practical, it seeks new ways of learning from the marginal, the multiple, the heterogeneous. This situated knowledge, open to the relational, seeks to activate the latent potential of embodied creative design processes, a culture that is currently dormant. These immersions through making help developing methodologies of action to create new alternative learning spaces. In a world immersed in a crisis of physical production and climatic deterioration, making can open to diversity, variability, sensitivity and care.

“El Pórtico de los Huéspedes”: Exploring other ways of building at the Open City in Valparaiso, Chile

Raffael Baur, Patricia Guaita

This chapter examines the pedagogical approach of the Valparaiso School of Architecture and Design (Valparaiso), its position within the Chilean academic landscape and the current collaboration with the Open City Research Platform. Since 2014, this collaboration has brought together students from Switzerland and Chile, in a collaborative project, with limited resources and low-tech technologies, to work on the incremental building of El Pórtico de los Huéspedes for the Open City in Ritoque, Chile. The Open City Research Platform explores other ways of learning and building that may open up an authentic educational experience: an encounter and knowledge exchange between two cultures of techne, broadening our understanding of how the built environment, sustainability and development are linked to a local context. The essay reviews research and pedagogy through the act of making which includes observation and testing as methods for addressing some of the most important concerns of contemporary architectural design: resilient construction, economies of material and a rooted relationship to place.

Prototype pavilion in Fribourg: towards an upgrade of argamassa armada through Textile Reinforced Concrete

Patricia Guaita

This article describes a partnership between architects and engineers researching in Switzerland and Brazil around innovative experiences on Textile Reinforced Concrete, which aim at the upgrade of the “argamassa armada” technology developed by brazilian architect João Filgueiras Lima, Lelé in the 1980's. Since 2016, this research is developed upon knowledge exchange and new pedagogical approaches by means of construction work-shops and hands–on student activities which result in update of twentieth century prefab technologies within a sustainable and contemporary framework, materialized by a Textile Reinforced Concrete Prototype Pavilion built in Fribourg, Switzerland.
