%A Ignacio Valero Ubierna %T Protocolos de dise?o y c?lculo de luz natural en arquitectura %X Esta tesis doctoral aborda el problema de la falta de un protocolo que conecte las elevadas y variadas expectativas formales que plantea la arquitectura singular respecto de la luz natural con las distintas herramientas de c?lculo y sus m?tricas asociadas disponibles. La pregunta que la tesis responde es la siguiente ??Es posible definir un protocolo que ordene las decisiones de dise?o y c?lculo en la resoluci?n de los problemas de luz natural en la arquitectura singular en forma de procesos, de modo suficientemente gen?rico y operativo, creando conocimiento ?til sobre el problema de que se trate en cada etapa del mismo?? Metodol?gicamente se desarrolla en dos ciclos de investigaci?n enlazados: primero se DEFINE de modo cient?fico el protocolo y luego se EVAL?A SU APLICABILIDAD. La construcci?n del protocolo se resuelve utilizando el m?todo inductivo a partir de un corpus previo de problemas de luz natural ya resueltos por el autor. Son analizados de modo sistem?tico y aplicando diversas estrategias de reducci?n y s?ntesis. conducen a un enunciado inicial del protocolo. Una vez enunciado el protocolo, que se denomina DAYLIGHTING CANVAS, se valora su la aplicabilidad mediante experimentaci?n directa, que se realiza a trav?s de tres experiencias diferentes. En la primera evaluamos su aplicabilidad en un problema representativo, en la segunda su aplicabilidad para resoluci?n de problemas planteados de modo aleatorio, y por ?ltimo su aplicabilidad en el caso de ser empleado por diferentes autores. ABSTRACT The Ph.D. thesis address the lack of a protocol capable to link the higher expectations regarding daylighting of the singular architecture practice with the available daylighting calculation tools and metrics. The thesis question is as follows: ?Is it possible to define a protocol capable to arrange the design and calculation decisions needed to be made to solve a daylighting problem for a singular architecture project, as a process, in a way as generic as operational, by building daylighting related knowledge in each step of it?? Methodologically the research is developed in two linked stages: first the protocol is scientifically DEFINED and then its APPLICABILITY is tested. The protocol is built up by using the inductive method over a group of previously solved daylighting projects provided by the thesis author. Those projects has been systematically analyzed by applying some reduction and synthesis strategies, which leads to a preliminary protocol formulation. Once the protocol is fully formulated under the name of ?DAYLIGHTING CANVAS?, its applicability is assessed by direct experimentation, done through three different experiments. In the first one the applicability to a complex problem is assessed; in the second one its applicability to non predicted daylighting problems; and finally its applicability for different users. %D 2015 %K Daylighting, daylighting tools, daylighting design, daylighting architecture %I Arquitectura %L upm40131
