Abstract/Resumo
This presentation will show how in the design submitted to a contest the work method would be decisive
for the condition of the overall final solution. In this methodology drawing remains as a research
instrument, but it is either associated and putted at the service of a more complex mechanism: a critical
thinking about the circumstances and cultural significance of the design problem.
The team brings together two architectural design teachers and, in a way, reflects in its operating
methodology a process where formal values are framed and evaluated in the context of a collaborative
process: as a team work, hence constituting a synthesis that represents multiple circumstances, on which
architecture “depends” and which does not necessarily transcend. The design of decisions was built upon a
process, which includes validation tools such as diagrams and analytical schemes, in addition to the
traditional argumentation in work meetings.
In these design case the circumstances were varied and included urbanistic, architectural, historical,
economic, technological, cultural and artistic aspects. Some of the aspects will be markedly social and
collective, others seemingly more individual. Overall, the solution is a synthesis that runs several risks, both
positive and negative, including, in this case, a proposed “programmatic and functional shock", that will
provide a new intensity and identity to the competition place
