Abstract

This research, from the analysis and observation of the dividing wall as a reflection axis, verifies the formal values of three examples of modern architecture.

For this work, the strategies and material of past and similar projects to the architectural objects in the study of the architects researched and the theoretical points of analysis were graphically identified. Through the exercise of visual intellection, a reconstruction of the project is carried out in which the dividing wall is presented as a compositions resource.

The pertinence of this investigation is clearly manifested, in what Piñón (2006) maintains; “Modernity proposes the construction of objects endowed with a consistent formal structure, specific to each case,” (p. 16). Therefore, this research invites the observation of the dividing wall as a resource of the integral architectural composition.
