El Lupo es un sistema modular patentado por el arquitecto Fermín González Blanco que mezcla la filosofía de los clásicos juegos de construcción, la reflexión sobre el espacio y la filosofia de simplificación de juegos clásicos como el tangram. El Lupo consta de un número limitado de piezas (unidades, piezas en U, curvas...) que se pueden ensamblar entre sí para construir todo tipo de formas. Lo que surgió como una reflexión teórica acerca de los elementos básicos en que se puede descomponer un edificio o una forma compleja, se ha convertido en una herramienta educativa con la que plantear a los niños juegos en los que reflexionar sobre a percepción espacial, la arquitectura, la evolución de la historia del arte...
Aunque nació como un puzzle 3D realizado en madera, el Lupo cuenta ya con versiones de sus piezas en diferentes materiales y tamaños. En general, los talleres para niños que imparten colegios y centros como la fundación Luis Seoane, emplean elementos de poliespán con los que los niños pueden jugar a construir una casa, reproducir la forma del pórtico de una iglesia o reflexionar sobre tipologías de la arquitectura popular como los hórreos. Equipados con cascos y chalecos amarillos, los chavales se convierten por un momento en arquitectos, jefes de obra, ingenieros, que deben alzar el plano que les propone el monitor o emplear las piezas para dar rienda suelta a su creatividad. Los talleres combinan partes de creatividad personal con la importancia de la cooperación y el trabajo colectivo, que permite ensamblar las piezas individuales que cada uno a preparado en una obra mayor y más compleja.
Seguro que jugar con las formas y reflexionar sobre la arquitectura nos ayuda a entender mejor la importancia de lo que nos rodea; y a reclamar en el futuro un espacio público de mayor calidad, que transmita los valores a los que aspiramos como comunidad.
THE LUPO SYSTEM
Lupo is a modular system patented by the architect Fermín González
Blanco that mixes the philosophy of the classical construction games,
the reflection on spaces and the philosophy of the simplification of
classical games like the tangram. The
Lupo uses a limited number of pieces (units, U-shaped pieces, curves
...) that can be assembled together to construct all kinds of shapes. What
emerged as a theoretical reflection on the basic elements in which a
building or a complex form can be decomposed, has become an educational
tool with which to ask children to reflect on spatial perception,
architecture, history of art ...
Although born as a 3D wooden puzzle, the Lupo has versions of their pieces in different materials and sizes. The workshops for children, at schools and centers such as the Luis Seoane Foundation, use polystyrene elements with which children can play building houses, reproducing the shape of a church porch or reflecting on the different typologies of popular architecture, such as the galician "horreos". Wearing helmets and yellow vests, the kids become architects or engineers, who must raise the plane proposed by a monitor or use the pieces to unleash their creativity. The workshops combine personal creativity with the importance of cooperation and collective work, allowing for the assembly of the individual pieces that each one prepared in a larger and more complex work.
Surely playing with shapes and reflecting on architecture helps us to better understand the importance of what surrounds us; and to demand in the future a public space of higher quality, which transmits the values to which we aspire as a community.
