Abstract

The conceptual foundation of form has been a recurring theme in the history of architecture. Beyond the aspect that at each moment and from each position one wants to give to this foundation, there is the unavoidable need to build architecture so that it can display its qualities. The tradition of polytechnic schools combines project reflection with technical reflection as one of the key elements to define the architectural form. The complexity of our time leads the architect to define this form in dialogue or negotiation with other agents. A case study is the Diagonal ZeroZero Tower in Barcelona which, based on a comprehensive prior conception of the shape and technique of the building, was developed in close architecture-engineering collaboration.
