A unified vision of the learning in architecture. To profit the funicular line

Abstract

An important improvement in the learning of the Architecture students has been obtained by means of an alternative matter studying “the architecture of buildings with arc, cable or dome structure”. From the equations of flexors diagrams we have studied the usual geometries of arc and cable. A lot of modern and classical buildings were studied finding relations among its charges distribution and the flexors diagrams. After this theoretical explanation a practical application of this knowledge has been proposed. Sustainability is apparent because described method is readily applicable to rehabilitation. Our methodology allows studying structural elements without any kind of intervention. It is, work is done in a non destructive way. A studied direct application is to correct errors in rehabilitations.
