01 D IE S T E WA L L 3 .0 Building Shop explores the work of the Uruguayan engineer Eladio Dieste through the construction of Ruled Surface using local traditional building materials like bricks. Dieste Wall 3.0 focuses on the analysis and documentation of a previously constructed iteration through an itemized catalogue and individual spatial relationships.

The work started by analyzing the structure of the wall previously constructed by students in an earlier version of the building shop. A total of 84 lines were drawn on the wall. Each line represents a section cut. The height, depth, and indentation of each brick and mortar line that was crossed by a section line were measured and recorded manually. The information extracted from Dieste Wall 2.0 was later used to create a virtual version of the wall using Rhino 3D.

Each brick, intact or damaged, was catalogued and recorded physically on the brick itself, showing the position, the number, and which wall it came from. These bricks were later used to construct Dieste Wall 3.0.

The construction of the new wall started using the bricks from Dieste Wall 2.0 and it used a scaffolding made of wood and ropes to construct the double-curvature of the brick wall.

02 SE C T I O NS This building arts studio focuses on the section cut as a fundamental architectural representation — a mechanism for defining and seeing space. Coupe, profil, scenographica, sciographia, spaccoto, and section are all terms used to describe a vertical cut through form and space. The section cut reveals the relationship between interior and exterior, between forms and forces, and between space and time.

03 S TA I R S This building arts studio focuses on stairs as a fundamental architectural element — a mechanism for defining and seeing space. Stairs provide the vertical movement from one space to another. They enable ascent or decent, subtle or exaggerated. Stairs can also define a space onto themselves — a volume articulated by the stacking and arrangement of systems of different species of spaces.
