About the video: Searching for Structural Stability
Overview
“Reusing found objects as the primary building materials presents problems in structural analysis, as we cannot predict the extent to which the objects we’re working with might be damaged. To address this, we have developed a "modes of failure" approach to materiality, assuming that the materials would fail. In this lesson, I will give you some indications about how assuming this degree of failure can enable you to optimize the design, address such latent contingencies, and preserve the general stability and performance of the overall structure by reinforcing its redundancy.”
In this video lesson Izaskun Chinchilla Moreno addresses the topic: Searching for Structural Stability, which is part of the Domestika online course: Eco-Friendly Pop-up Architecture. Learn to design small scale installations from scratch by exploring the principles of circular economy.
Partial transcription of the video
“Searching for Structural Stability In this lesson, we'll seek structural stability. We'll accept that the materials we'll use, are somehow going to fail. But we'll use different strategies like redundancy, to manage that failure. As an introductory warning, I need to tell you that although we'll use a lot of intuition to approach the structural calculation, you need to realize that ultimately, architecture is quite serious and you need to meet all the legal requirements for construction in every country. My first recommendation to start looking at structural stability is trying to look for ...”

A course by Izaskun Chinchilla Moreno
Izaskun Chinchilla studied architecture at the Polytechnic University of Madrid. After graduating with an honors degree and an award for best academic record of her class, she went on to start her own architecture studio, Izaskun Chinchilla Architects in Madrid. Her work applies environmental protocols in a contemporary architectural context.
Izaskun has worked with clients in the public sector like the Spanish Ministry of Public Work and the Madrid Council, as well as companies such as IKEA, G’vine, Sunbrella, and El Corte Inglés. She is the recipient of numerous awards throughout Europe and the United States. Some of her most notable designs include Organic Growth Pavilion in New York City, “Cosmowomen. Places as constellations” in Rome, and the VIP Room for ARCO in Madrid. She has also taught architecture in different universities like the Madrid School of Architecture, Institute of Advanced Architecture of Catalonia, and the Geneva University of Art and Design.
