Resumen de Proyectar con 5 D.I.T.S: análisis del proyecto de arquitectura y del proyecto de diseño.
The thesis developed here is entitled ¿Proyectar con 5 D.I.T.S¿ (Designing with 5 D.I.T.S.), and more specifically; ¿Análisis del proyecto de Arquitectura y el proyecto de diseño¿ (analysis of the architecture and design projects). This title corresponds to a simile of the five digits of the hand, which is succinctly an essential metaphor when one is designing: using the five senses. Thus the objective of this thesis is to encourage the exercise of designing with full creative freedom because ¿if we create the design; then draw the plans, and then, with a bit of luck, the project is carried out; and ultimately, start all over again¿. The contents of this book are very often the consequence of my personal aspirations, my way of thinking and doing, which have ruled both my professional and personal life. Seventeen years of professional experience, more than five years teaching and starting a business, in which I believe, with the hopes of carving a niche in the human/technological field were necessary. I might add that in the title of my thesis, I use the word ¿Design¿ intentionally because, as I say, ¿it anchors the identity and stimulates the imprecise.¿ For the ¿How¿ and the ¿Why¿ expressed in the thesis, the design process is analyzed for the purpose of establishing a method based on the ¿5 systems¿ through the use of the metaphor of the five digits of the hand; ¿I find it on my hand, then I design it, then I draw it¿. With these five systems; ¿the place, the character, the client, the culture and the form¿ that one can and should use by establishing multiple combinations through their juxtaposition until the design concept is reached. Throughout history, answers have been sought to the needs of human beings, and designing has been recognized as the expression of beauty or the sense of aesthetics in the architect¿s and/or designer¿s mind, whose brain contains an idea-making machine. In this respect I have learned much from persons with whom I have had the opportunity to talk, they are: Juli Capella, Alberto Lievore, Javier Mariscal, Josep Puig, Marius Quintana, Alberto Salazar, Benedetta Tagliabue, and Oscar Tusquets. Thanks to them I learned first hand about the different ways of addressing the issue of the ¿art of designing¿. Finally, I would like to highlight the especially graphic character of the contents of this book, with the certainty that the architectural project or the design with the drawings have a biunivocal correspondence that does not permit treating them separately. So, an attempt is made for each assertion and reflection to be supported by or illustrated with an image or drawing, whether of own authorship or not. Allegedly, architects and designers develop an intense activity when sketching or drawing which consumes a significant portion of time of the practice of the ¿art of designing¿. This affirmation is exemplified presenting five design projects, for the creation of which the 5 D.I.T.S. methods was followed and, at the same time, other architectural projects are presented where also 5 systems were considered. With this in mind, and understanding architecture as the pluridisciplinary activity par excellence, this book concludes with an analysis of the production process of an architectural design project, to determine what happens and how we can apply the matrix of my method to other production processes or disciplines, without abandoning, and with imposed obligation; the ¿creative attitude¿ par excellence, promoting ¿connectivity¿, promoting ¿originality¿ which implies searching for innovativeness, the element of surprise, and inventive freshness, all labored with a dose of inspiration. These are requirements which, in my opinion, are essential for all of us wishing to live with and for the ¿art of designing¿.
