Abstract

This paper tries to make a transit from the Leibnizian philosophy to the world of architecture through his Law of Continuity. This transit proposes five laws or conditions inherent to the architectonic space which establishes a theory on how space can be understood from a discipline like philosophy. Besides this Law, the paper addresses the problem of the fold and how it is understood as a device and the fundamental trigger of space and formal experimentation.
