This article is part of the ongoing research work "Geometric orders and Crossdisciplinarity in the generation of contemporary architectural form" which aims to integrate knowledge and methods from various disciplines, to specify strategies that contribute to the teaching of architectural morphology, specifically to the generation of geometric order from the perspectives and approaches of other disciplines. The methodology is based on the identification of principles of order, laws and patterns with potential capacity for systematization, transfer and application in the generation of architectural form.
Regarding the disciplinary field of morphology, Doberti describes the relationship between form and interdiscipline, and states that: "The First Morphology deals with the logic of Conformation, focuses on it and only attends to the steps necessary to reach Form"(2008, p. 108)and also states that: "The form is the generator of disciplines and enables interdiscipline, as well as enables the penetration of limits" (2008, p. 109).
In this case, inquiries into kinematics and cymatics converge to be later transferred; which can be characterized as follows: On the one hand, kinematics, framed in mechanics, and in turn a branch of physics, which participates as a general discipline and focuses on the particular study of the trajectories of movement of bodies in space, without attending to the forces that affect it produce. On the other hand, cymatics, contained by acoustics and physics, which studies the visual representations of sound waves and periodic vibration phenomena on matter.
