Descripción
This paper describes the methods and results obtained in the reconstruction of ruled surfaces from a selection of non-built projects by Felix Candela. The amount of work done during the project was possible because of the parametric methods and the programming code used during the reconstruction. The aim of the paper is to show the workflow, the procedures and the processes carried out for the virtual reconstruction of the projects. The communication focuses on the projects done by hyperbolic parabolic surface fragments. The models are based on the original designs of Felix Candela, which respond to different structural types. Thanks to the digital reconstruction we can appreciate how the projects would have been if they had been built. In addition, the models can be exported to virtual reality systems or materialized as physical models through digital manufacturing. Given the graphic nature of the project, the article presents original images made by the authors, some corresponding to unpublished projects by Felix Candela. The educational nature implicit in this kind of workflow has led to its inclusion in different workshops in several Architecture Schools in Europe, where students can experiment with different approaches in the fields of geometry and computation.
