Relationship Between Envelope and Architectural Program for the Configuration of Dynamic Spaces in an Entrepreneurship Center

This article discusses the relationship between envelope and architectural program and how it influences the configuration of dynamic spaces for the design of an entrepreneurship center. Four criteria are included: comfort, dynamics, productivity, and spatial permeability. It is established that dynamic spatial configuration tends towards the programmatic implementation of flexible and open spaces, user space interaction, diverse environments, mixed uses, levels of privacy, and circulation conducive to collaborative work; in contrast, the envelope must respond to reactive or passive interactions of the immediate environment,
thus incorporating the qualities of barrier, filter, and sensor function.
Linking Enrique Leff’s theory of Neguentropy, concepts of fractal, fold, and rhizome are included with the program and the envelope. Additionally, the latter is addressed in relation to the diagrid structural system and simplified reciprocal
frames, which condition the reactive program responding to passive cooling techniques.
