Nuevos retos docentes en geometría a través de la cestería

Abstract

At the HTSA of the UPV/EHU, Geometry subjects continue to evolve in the study and control of geometric shapes. Starting from the basic forms, it delves into complex forms, linked to Architecture. Nowadays, this teaching method is developed by linking the study of geometric shapes with the making of models inspired by traditional basketry. Using 3D modeling software such as Rhinoceros and the visual programming language Grasshopper, which acts as a plug-in within the former, allows students to explore never-before-made patterns and shapes. After obtaining digital models that transcend the techniques and forms used in traditional basket weaving, physical models are made by hand. It has been found that by making these models with their hands, students develop important skills for the labor market while completing the learning in geometric shapes.
