- Resumen
The subject of this research is hybrid architecture. All architecture that is at once object, landscape and infrastructure is considered hybrid.
Considering the contemporary overuse of the term hybrid¿whereby its true meaning is often diverted and confused with the simple addition of uses¿, this research intends to rescue the complexity and richness associated with the process of hybridisation in general and with architectural hybridisation in particular.
This Research into hybrid architecture has the twofold goal of outlining architectural hybridisation¿s ability to widen the conceptual frame of architecture, while at the same time transforming the qualities of hybrid architecture into project tools serving architecture in general.
Hybrid architecture, pushed by the fact that it concentrates in a single architectural intervention a triple object, landscape- and infrastructure-related nature, generates architectural answers with very specific features.
Because of its specificity and since its nature is neither the most evident nor habitual in architectural practice and conception, these features widen the conceptual framework of topics that are transversal and consubstancial to architecture.
The qualities of these hybrids form a group of qualities that are interdependent and intimately related to one another and that, taken together make up the definition of the hybrid nature of architecture.
These qualities are developed and outlined in groups corresponding to six topics: Context, Limits, Ground, Scale, Mobility and Space.
However, beyond the conceptual value of the development of the specific thematic goals of this research per se ¿ as precise a definition as possible of the meaning of architectural hybridisation and an outline of the architectural reality collectively described by the qualities of the hybrids¿ the ultimate goal of any doctoral thesis at the Department of Architectural Projects, which is to establish links between reflection and practice in the development of architectural projects, has also been taken into account.
In this sense, the present research aims to offer the qualities of hybrids as project tools for the use of architectural planning in general: Those qualities seen as inherent to architectural hybrids and coming together within them are not, if considered individually, qualities exclusive to the hybrids.
They are qualities that exist, in isolation or in partial combinations, in 'architectures¿ that remain outside of the field defined here as hybrid architecture.
Implicit in the value of the hybrid is the value of an architectural practice that wants to shorten the distance between the disciplines of the architectural project, urbanism and landscape design.
Implicit in the value of the hybrid as well is the value of an architectural practice that is conscious of its inevitable impact on physical reality ¿ beyond the limit of its area of intervention ¿ and that maximises its compromise with that reality.(extremes its commitment with it?) Implicit in the value of the hybrid is the value of an architectural practice that assumes all its responsability in the configuration of the qualities of the common space, as well as all its potential for urban transformation and reconfiguration of the landscape.
