Based on the wide scientific information available about living systems (LS), this paper 每through analogies and deductions每 presents some of the attributes that must be included in the concept of containment and organization of buildings closely linked to LS*s. To this end, the concept of the Kiron System (KS) is presented, which is a new level in the hierarchy of hybrid, semi-artificial nature, formed by three sub-systems: ecosystem, the human body as an organism or biosystem, and the building or artificial system. Its function is, precisely, to eliminate the dichotomy between the organizational logic of natural systems and artificial systems; an organization where these systems can link their matter, energy and information processes to form the functional components of KS. It is in the core of the KS system where the concept of containment and organization of activities, traditionally assigned to buildings, is modified. The boundaries of the Kiron System become the new ※container§ in which the building or artificial system (AS) is transformed, simultaneously, into container and contained. In this scheme, the organizational role of AS is subordinated to the organizational characteristics of living systems in which it is nested, and its function is to organize, in a specific and gradual manner, the interactions between the natural elements present in each situation, to build the hybrid structural components in which the functional components of KS must be materialized. El doble prop車sito de satisfacer las grandes necesidades habitacionales en las zonas intertropicales, sin comprometer a迆n m芍s la estabilidad de sus ecosistemas, requiere de nuevos conceptos que contribuyan a solventar el divorcio existente entre los esquemas organizativos de los sistemas naturales y el de los artificiales. Apoy芍ndose en la extensa informaci車n cient赤fica disponible acerca de los sistemas vivos (SV), se infieren en el presente trabajo algunos de los atributos que deben integrar los conceptos relativos a las funciones de acondicionamiento, contenci車n y organizaci車n de actividades de aquellas edificaciones estrechamente vinculadas a los SV. Para ello se expone el concepto del Sistema Kiron (SK) 每elemento que integra el actual desarrollo de la tesis Doctoral del autor每 consistente en un nuevo nivel jer芍rquico de %K Artificial systems %K Living systems %K Organization %K Buildings %K Sistemas artificiales %K Sistemas biol車gicos %K Organizaci車n %K Edificaciones %U http://arbor.revistas.csic.es/index.php/arbor/article/view/21/21
