El muro (La reinterpretación del muro y sus características arquitectónicas en la configuración del espacio)

Abstract

The research proposes a reflection on the wall as an architectural element capable of transcending its constructive condition to become a device that generates spatial experience. From this perspective, the wall is understood not merely as a boundary or enclosure, but as a medium of projection that articulates relationships between space, movement, and perception, directly influencing how users inhabit and comprehend a place.

The primary objective is to abstract the figurative definition of the wall in order to construct a system of analytical variables—articulation, reconfiguration, and integration—that allow the wall to be reinterpreted as an active element in the configuration of spatiality. These variables function as conceptual tools through which different modes of spatial organization, circulation, and mediation between interior and exterior can be identified.

The development of these variables is grounded in a unitary analysis, objectively defined according to the specific requirements of the activity. This approach enables the establishment of a coherent relationship between form, use, and experience. In this way, the wall is conceived as an adaptable system capable of responding to spatial and programmatic dynamics, while integrating the notion of access not merely as a point of entry, but as an essential component in the sequencing and perception of the architectural experience of the user.
