From transformational and generative properties, raised from mathematics and geometries such as fractals (Mandelbrot, 1984) and IFS -iterated systems function- (Lindenmeyer and Przemyslaw, 2000) we propose work possibilities, based on the so-called morphologies of the amorphous, looking assimilate it to the principles of modern and contemporary architecture and aesthetics, such as free, minimalist and essential lines, paying particular attention to the richness of its patterns and configurations, as well as its scalar and transformational properties. This is how, in previous publications, work has been carried out, from university teaching and various visual art projects, to the work and development of models of fragmentation and scalar growth, which lead to the generation of modules, plots, minimalist landscapes-, showing diverse possibilities of creative assimilation from architecture. From the process of vector fragmentation, the general objective is to take modular portions of the plots, deepening the general methodology exposed in Cañete (2014, 2016, 2017, 2018a, 2018b) in order to detect modular configurations that can be worked and modeled, according to criteria of change of position and relation between its parts, generating dispositions and, therefore, new arrangements, which introduce, from a series of position variations (fit and disengagement of modules) a wealth of volumetric and spatial configurations, which give step to a basic typology of architectural work.
