Dynamic scopes. How tectonics gives way to agencements

Abstract

From a dynamic perspective of reality, this research aimes to determine how tectonics of architectural space gives way to spatial processes that give dynamic characteristics to architecture.This research begins with a reference documentation that tracks the concept of tectonics in architecture from its etymology and its applications in contemporary reality. This study serves as a frame of reference for the study of cases, which allow to identify -in those architectures- the dynamic characteristics due to the agencements. After the analysis of cases, in relation to the conditions revealed by the positions on contemporary reality, it is evident how tectonics give way to agents that take control of certain tectonic components, and how the production of the architectural work is under emerging-process conditions. Thus, these architectures show indeterminacy, instability, uncertainty, deformation, ambivalence, processes and/or emergency in their constitution. Actions that point to the generation of an architecture whose tectonics accommodate agencements that allow, from an interdisciplinary approach, to permeate other processes, experiences and effects on architecture.The contribution of this article is to venture into a different way of understanding architecture that begins to break out with tectonic precepts to immerse itself in dynamic fields, granting to architecture indeterminate, unstable, imprecise, deformable, ambivalent, procedural and emerging conditions.
