Índice de habilidad integrada entre el cuerpo geométrico lo sensorial y la estructura

Abstract

This research develops and validates a hybrid geometric–sensory–structural model applied to experimental architectural pedagogy in first-semester architecture students. The study addresses the need to overcome traditional methodologies focused exclusively on bidimensional representation by proposing an experiential strategy based on full-scale construction, multisensory perception, and structural validation. Methodologically, the research adopted a mixed exploratory–experimental approach integrating qualitative analysis through grounded theory and quantitative analysis using multivariate models and structural simulation. An Experimental Habitability Integrated Index (HEI) was designed based on variables of geometric complexity, structural stability, sensory perception, and anthropometric ergonomics. The sample consisted of 30 students participating in the Geometers Workshop conducted at the Universidad Francisco de Paula Santander. The findings revealed positive correlations between meaningful constructive learning, sensory experience, and spatial appropriation, highlighting structural relationships above r = 0.70 in variables associated with luminous perception and geometric stability. Furthermore, qualitative analyses identified emergent categories related to bodily understanding of geometry, haptic learning, and transformation of design thinking. The study concludes that full-scale experimental construction significantly strengthens spatial, structural, and phenomenological comprehension in architectural design education, consolidating an innovative pedagogical model grounded in the integration of body, perception, and structure. Finally, the research contributes a transferable methodological framework for future studies in neuroarchitecture, parametric design, and immersive pedagogies applied to contemporary architectural education.
