Do Hóquei em Patins à Arquitetura. Questões sobre a correlação entre 'Improviso' e 'Estratégia Prévia', no projeto como jogo

Abstract

Lying under the idea of Architectural conception, a multidimensional and transdisciplinary con-cept that grants the magnitude of this discipline is identifiable, conferring its extension through the ar-tistic, programmatic, scientific, human and many other knowledge-related domains. This distinctive and embracing configuration leads to endless expansion possibilities, which naturally become recurrent at theoretical and practical levels, and promote the turning up of new perspectives, points of view, prob-lematics and understandings of Architecture. Introduced by the context of the actual paradigm, this analysis can be considered as an obser-vation of Architecture through a new lens, which associates it to the game concept and emphasizes a position that requires an initial contextualization so that the full understanding of the matter becomes viable. Introduced by the author's problematic and the expertise required to master the different dimen-sions of knowledge, the brought-out perspective of this dissertation lies on the possibility of connecting Architecture and Rink Hockey, in their context, concept, method and sense. Starting with the recognition of the differences and similarities between these both worlds, this perspective sums up the development of an interdisciplinary analysis that brings together two different worlds, despite its (apparently) unconventional character. Facing up Architecture and Rink Hockey is understanding that the game concept that brings them closer, when naturally associated to the impos-sibility of separation between prior strategy (tactic) and improvisation (technique), brings up un under-standing of Architecture that develops under a new vision, one that includes matters and concepts such as goal, competitiveness, decision making, results, technique, tactic or risk - and this can be considered, at least, unusual. Moreover, the use of exemplification is quite frequent, since it provides easiness in the understanding of the different associations, and helps to apprehend the perspectives, conclusions and points of view that are progressively enunciated. From the idea of the elements that unite the game to the project, to the identification of the architect's opponent, these two distinct disciplines get intersected, the information gets reorganized, and the results lie on a reasonable conceptual analysis, which allows the studying and interpretation of a conceptional method of Architecture that is appropriate and relevant to the general presented panorama. It finishes with the unignorable comparison between the spectator of the game and the spectator of Architecture, allied with the multi-sensorial matter that concerns, not only him, but the author as well.
