Abstract
Architecture is totally linked to the knowledge and study of geometry. There are some materials in nature, whose geometric invariants establish equivalent structural behavior regarding to the scalar transformations, developing different spatial typologies according to dimensional variation. The reentrant hexatruss structure is part of the auxetic structures. These structures, characterized by its negative Poisson?s ratio, change their geometric configuration from a line to a surface and from a surface to a volume or spatial framework. This paper is based on establishing those re-entrant hexatruss geometries to be able to build new spaces in architecture, studying analytically geometric and structural properties of auxetic materials and structures that, from the molecular to the macroscopic level, can be part of the architecture construction.
