Transfer of planar scissor-hinge (Pérez-Piñero) to free profiles, ¿example of graphic skill for latest educational level?

Abstract

The aim of this work is the submission of first document related to graphic skills for latests years in Architectural Degree program before entering a PHD program. Through selected study cases like this one of Pérez-Piñero’s project, this paper open a discussion about graphic methodologies suitable for latest years in Architectural Degree. Thanks to Felix Candela collaboration, Pérez-Piñero developed the deployable hypercubed stained-glass window for Museo Dalí (Figueres, Girona, 1971) in which glass pieces worked together with the structure for the stiffness of the skeleton, whose fundamentals were inspired in the ones designed for Convertible Theater (London Competition, 1961). This paper reflects some fundamentals from both projects and proposes a procedure to obtain free shapes using parametric tools, which can be followed through Sandra González PHD research (2014) and René Ploch Graduation Project (2014), being referenced to latest MIT scissors researches (Rosenberg 2009).
