La arquitectura biomórfica, como manifestación de la creatividad inherente al ser humano, responde a una multiplicidad de influencias culturales, tecnológicas y medioambientales. En los últimos tiempos, este campo ha experimentado un crecimiento significativo en la investigación de enfoques epistemológi-cos y teorías fundamentales que respaldan la práctica arquitectónica. En este contexto, en 2005, el arquitecto español Alberto Estévez presentó su concepción de la ‘historia de la arquitectura genética’ en su artículo titulado "Arquitectura Biomórfica" [1]. Su propuesta se basa en un modelo lineal temporal que divide la evolución de la arquitectura biomórfica en tres fases principales: el pasado clásico, el presente moderno y el futuro genético. En cada fase, Estévez examina cuatro factores distintivos: sistema formal, estructural, material y procesual, actuando como hilos conductores que conectan la evolución de la arquitectura a lo largo de la historia.A partir de estos supuestos, y con la hipótesis de que la integración de la biología y la tecnología, se erigen como factores que enriquecen la comprensión de la arquitectura biomórfica, este trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar las teorías propuestas por Alberto Estévez en relación con la arquitectura biomórfica, con el fin de profundizar en su comprensión y definición de sus características fundamentales. Para llevar a cabo este análisis, se uti-lizará la taxonomía elaborada por Stephen Pepper (1942), en su obra titulada “World Hypotheses: A Study in Evidence” [2], en donde elabora una serie de modelos fundamentales o ‘hipótesis del mundo’, aplicables en la observación de los fenómenos en el contexto occidental. Estas cuatro hipótesis, a saber, formalismo, mecanicismo, organicismo y contextualismo, establecen diferentes visiones del mundo arraigadas en metáforas subyacentes, cada una con su enfoque cognitivo distintivo.Finalmente, este estudio no busca proporcionar una clasificación definitiva, sino servir como punto de partida para futuras investigaciones en el campo de la arquitectura biomór-fica y su influencia en el entorno construido.
Abstract: Biomorphic architecture, as a manifestation of inherent human creativity, responds to a multiplicity of cultural, technological and environmental influences. In recent times, this field has experienced significant growth in the investigation of epistemological approaches and fundamental theories that support architectural practice. In this context, in 2005, Spanish architect Alberto Estevez presented his conception of the ‘history of genetic ar-chitecture’ in his article entitled "Biomorphic Architecture". His proposal is based on a lin-ear temporal model that divides the evolution of biomorphic architecture into three main phases: the classical past, the modern pres-ent and the genetic future. In each phase, Estévez examines four distinctive factors: formal, structural, material and processual system, acting as threads that connect the evolution of architecture throughout history.Based on these assumptions, and with the hypothesis that the integration of biology and technology, stand as factors that enrich the understanding of biomorphic architecture, this paper aims to analyze the theories proposed by Alberto Estévez in relation to biomorphic architecture, in order to deepen its understanding and definition of its fundamental characteristics. To carry out this analysis, the taxonomy elaborated by Stephen Pepper (1942), in his work entitled "World Hypotheses: A Study in Evidence" will be used, where he elaborates a series of fundamental models or ‘hypotheses of the world’, applicable in the observation of phenomena in the western context. These four hypotheses, namely formalism, mechanicism, organicism and contextualism, establish different world-views rooted in underlying metaphors, each with its distinctive cognitive approach. Finally, this study does not seek to provide a definitive classification, but rather to serve as a starting point for future research in the field of biomorphic architecture and its influence on the built environment.
