Thesis, Rio De Janeiro (Brasil)

The project of my thesis was focused on the possibility of finding a way to obtain a mathematical modelling of architectural shape. This idea started before the thesis in my personal studies. In order to find a good application of this idea and to obtain a real proof of the operation of the method, that I was developing, I chose to find a huge area in a developing country like Brazil. For this reason I went to Rio de Janeiro and after finding an interesting area. After, this I started an analysis in which I considered the problem of actual urban shape through a mathematical analysis in which were included sciences like economy, sociology and philosophy, history, urbanism, architecture and other. These big amounts of materials provided the pin for the next development of the architectural shape. The path to reach the shape passes through a mathematical-physical model that provide the basis of future shape borne both by the model and the context of the city or place in which the architecture could be built.
