MODULAR ESTRUCTURES
The completion of my doctoral thesis on geometric tradition in Western art on modular estructures, left me a deep signal when thinking about running processes and aesthetic. This fact led, even in a methodology that I define as generative Geometry that can be followed in some of the documents and presentations most rationalistic how Catalog Deli and projects, Flowers in the desert, Sapientis est ordinare and Cúbic and finally were embodied in a sculpture, the tree winds.

Now could not determine the exact moment in which we feel we attracted by those forms that transformed through geometric operations. Simple as rotation, translation, etc symmetry, which combined between them, generate different sets of formal units. That set the new forms we call catàlegs1, which showed the variables combinatorial module and arranged for new combinations of level. The module became the protagonist able, through their multiplication and combination generate expressive forms initially unknown and sometimes little predictable. These catalogs primitive units could be combined again and again randomly or methodically train new catalogs or supermòduls level. These catalogs could form units and can reach higher number of modules and tended to become a kind of complex fractals.
Let us dwell on the word module and the nuances of its meaning. In the world of numismatics and paleography, the word module has a very precise meaning; diameter of the coin and size of the letter, consecutively. No wonder this fact when you consider the size of all coins of the same value is repeated and font size. In the field of computing, a module is made independently functional unit that can be studied, performed and reused separately, part of a wider system hardware or software. If we review the history, we see that Vitrubi2, following the proportions of the human body, establish a common measure for reciprocity to all parties, which allowed the spirit of the Greeks referred assiduously , very harmonic combinations. It was during the Renaissance when Andrea Palladi3, Iacopo Vignola4, etc., would establish strict coding around architectural orders which correspond to various modules. For these authors, the modules tend to become units divisible in separate parts of the local measures. Closer to our contemporary sensibility, Le Corbusier5, based on a high ideal of the human body, established in 1'82 m. and combined with the height of a person with arm raised to 2'26 m, using these measures and their divisions -atenent to àuria- section to create a set of scales that determine the various modules construction. However, for the current architecture, the module has become a fixed unit, which serves to facilitate the standardized production of prefabricated materials of various industrial components. We could start, said what we said to progress to define a first module, such as that element combined with others of the same nature with which it shares Neighbourhood location, function and meaning.
A module is developed on a grid that can take forms that we desire. There are grids that allow you to occupy evenly space (tesel.lar) and others do not. On the grid defined forms on which established norms or behaviors. For example, the catalog we have called Varanasi, you can see that only two operating segments per module
these can only be used as extreme vertices or midpoints of the sides of the squares of the grid. This grid may be in sight or not. Needless to say, as can be seen in this case, the module can work in several dimensions, dressing materials that we want and applied to various environments or communication fields-construction. Crossing lines refers to the crosses of a cemetery and death sacralised Benares, hence the name we have given to this catalog.
We should remember, arrived at this point, which is the Latin root modus module, which is a diminutive form modulum, meaning simply combined with other element.
In the field of natural sciences, the cells multiplied and present
huge groups can view it as an element of a specialized body creature alive. They coordinated work within bodies certain of a living being. Both those that form the architecture of bones, such as visual or degustatives work to maintain life, from its expertise in the environment they deserve within the complexity of the whole. Science and study modules seek life and the arts of the construction and comunication. Not that art seeks to replace privileges creative gods, their work is limited to observing and bringing all results of their observations to their limited land, creating its own modules, which are incomparably simpler and therefore poorer for a company of such magnitude as the magnificent natural reality of which we are part. The module concept artists, builders and communicators are able to create with all the personal limitations that can pick up the resulting work can assume a basic behaviors of the modular nature either symbolic level, constructive metaphorical or shroud. As a partner in our work of abstraction and the most effective allies, conptem geometry as a method of reducing-simplification to advance step by step toward configurations that meet needs and solutions presuppose subjective or objective of a project. Dare I suggest that if the Hindu cosmology the world is presented as God playing with himself, why have not the man could enjoy also an activity and as comforting as the divine game? The game always has to ally thinking, which is capable of autorregular it partially limits. A game, in addition to sharing it, is always the clearest reflection of our freedom. The game is a gratifying effort in the form of energy that returns to life.
Between 1991 and 1993 we nosra elaborate dissertation, theoretical and practical contributions versatility, developing modular and location. And there we defined three specific modules (the seesaw, meeting and Playful Triangle) will call on the whole, MP (multiplicands and poliubicables). These modules extend the concept that until then had this concept. What we did then -after isolate those aesthetic metaphors- was configured logic, using combinatorial, numerical sequences, materials, and techniques circumstances and each case demanded application, in order MP developing those modules.
It was then when we started, perhaps unwittingly, to define a geometry that generative years ago intuited. Metaphors aesthetic synthesizes three modules MP come from a raw chaotic feelings, intuitions and perceptions materials. These metaphors were reworked and streamlined to be directed towards and derivatives quantifiable solutions, functional and / or expression in any field of the arts. It was therefore defining those modules, in addition multiplicands as poliubicables. This was a new concept that broadened the scope and application of the modular theory.
MP modules were announced this:
1. The concept referred to multiplicative reproducible module. It was made creations based on this factual reproducibility. We knew as Walter Benjamin7 that the way the prototype would lose a certain aura that would go but withdrawing others, who did not want to waste no time was the aura of the conception of the phenomenon before becoming the 'us.
2. The poliubicabilitat other hand, represented the possibility of placing phenomena proposed primary structures designed in such a way that would allow us to solve problems and choose applications very diverse organization. A curious example of reproducibility and could be poliubicabilitat bodies to whom the Romans changed the length and width to the empire as needed, after, for example, a change of emperor, governor, etc .. that represented an ingenious way to save a job and sestercios. In the field of Christian theology, God and the devil would absolutely poliubicables two people, everyone remembers what God is everywhere and, naturally, the fallen angel did not last long in this capacity, they say. In the thesis, I worked on three modular configurations as an example of the possibilities of this generative geometry. In order of seniority were: playful triangle (TJ) The meeting (TR) and the seesaw (PB). The front triangle is the most playful of modular configurations presented in my thesis, and perhaps be explained by the fact that this issue was first. The romp triangle occurs in the plane, while the other modules are based on the most basic ideas dimensional. In the next chapter or section of the book entitled I, the origin of the MP, spacious, explain and put as an example the genesis of this particular module to define, even in a simple geometry that I called generative. The metaphor is contained in the TJ game, one of the most powerful human activities and where everyone is involved throughout his life. The game also has a strong learning component. Playing is dealing with the world and found that treatment with the accident and unpredictable, like life.
