Complejo de Innovación Industrial y Cultural “Arquitectura industrializada rígida, que impide la progresión y adaptación del diseño”

Abstract

This research is based on a critical reflection on modern and contemporary industrialized processes, emphasizing that the static conception of technique has resulted in orthodox architectural systems with limited capacity for spatial, functional, and constructive evolution. In response, the study formulates projectual tools capable of effectively transforming industrialized rigidity into a flexible, open, and evolutionary architectural system. The methodology adopts a qualitative, analytical, and project-based approach structured into three stages: Stylization, aimed at constructing the theoretical framework through the ideas of Gottfried Semper, Carlos Martí Arís, Rafael Moneo, and Joaquín Arnau; Addition, focused on the technical and conceptual analysis of the references Takara Beautilion by Kisho Kurokawa and City in the Air by Arata Isozaki; and finally Dismantling, in which the collected principles are transformed into tools applicable to architectural design. The result consists of four projectual tools: the aggregation mechanism, the tridirectional joint-bearing system, the technological ornament-threshold, and the modular growth system. These tools make it possible to conceive architectural systems capable of growth and reconfiguration without losing structural coherence and formal identity. The resulting principles are applied in the formulation of the “Industrial and Cultural Innovation Complex in Tunja, Boyacá,” conceived as a hybrid system of production, culture, and learning. Therefore, the research concludes that overcoming industrialized rigidity does not depend on rejecting technique, but rather on understanding it as a relational, adaptable, and evolutionary system in which structure, time, technique, and dwelling converge within an open design logic. In this sense, the monograph provides a conceptual basis for the development of more flexible and contextualized industrialized architectures.
