Abstract
This article is intended to encourage the debate, from a transdisciplinary approach, about the distinct ways of tectonic expression — approach represented by the merger of concepts related to Architecture and Structural Engineering, which allowed the characterization of a particular concept: structure-form and contributed to the definition of a set of analytical categories. On the other hand, the theoretical propositions of Eduard Franz Sekler and Kenneth Frampton, as well as Heinrich Wolfflin and Harry Mallgrave, concerning tectonics, are the foundations for this investigation, which has the Museum of Modern Art of Rio de Janeiro (MAM-Rio) as its object of analysis. This analysis has the structure-form as a design principle and unfolds through the following categories: form imposition, structural legibility and structural materiality. Such characteristics synthesize the desired transdisciplinarity, making it possible to observe the different tectonic expressions that are manifested in the building, apart from the construction processes and the load paths, even achieving an empathic expression that not only allows to re-signify a certain understanding about MAM-Rio but, above all, the very notion of tectonic expression. Keywords: Structure-form, tectonic expression, empathetic experience.
