title	Taller de Diseño Virtual Internacional y Educacion Reciproca a Distancia (International Virtual Design Studios and Reciprocal Distance Education)
source	II Seminario Iberoamericano de Grafico Digital [SIGRADI Conference Proceedings / ISBN 978-97190-0-X] Mar del Plata (Argentina) 9-11 september 1998, pp. 398-405
summary	Motivated by a tendency towards the development of international design and construction consortia, the paper explores the application of information technology in order to add an international and multicultural dimension to our Design Studios. In particular, the paper describes how a group of 4 Mexican design professors offers distance education to a Design Studio in the U.S. and how, in a reciprocal way, 4 American construction professors offer distance education to a Construction Studio in Mexico. Both groups of professors and students make extensive use of the Internet and a T1 dedicated line for compressed video. In addition to the experience previously mentioned, the paper elaborates on potential applications of the "Reciprocal Distance Education" model at university and professional levels. The paper presents conclusions that place particular attention in the evaluation of information resources. In the same way, some conclusions address the administrative an faculty structures that make possible the implementation of the model.

title	La Red Digital de Investigación ""Las Américas"": Una herramienta de colaboración (The Digital Research Network "Las Américas": A Tool for Collaboration)
source	III Congreso Iberoamericano de Grafico Digital [SIGRADI Conference Proceedings] Montevideo (Uruguay) September 29th - October 1st 1999, pp. 384-388
summary	In 1998, thanks to the support of the Program to Enhance Scholarly and Creative Activities of Texas A&M University, the author was able to establish a digital research network that promotes and coordinates collaborative research and development projects at inter-continental level. The original objective was to establish a network of 5 schools of Architecture. This objective was largely surpassed. At the time of editing this paper, the Las Américas Digital Research Network brings together 17 schools of Architecture (from Canada to Argentina). See http://taz.tamu.edu/~americas/ In this collaborative framework, we have been able to identify a number of research and development opportunities. This paper reports on some of the on-going initiatives of the network, namely: a) The Las Americas Virtual Design Studio, b) The Las Americas Virtual Gallery of Visual Arts, c) The Las Americas Research Journal "Archi-Forum" and, d) The Las Americas Curriculum Harmonization Initiative. In addition to a report on current activities, this paper aims to promote new initiatives and identify potential sources of research & development funding. The paper ends with conclusions and a call for widespread participation.

title	Integracion de Cursos De Computacion y Talleres de DiseÒo Electronico (Integration of Computer Aided Design Courses and the Electronic Design Studio)
source	II Seminario Iberoamericano de Grafico Digital [SIGRADI Conference Proceedings / ISBN 978-97190-0-X] Mar del Plata (Argentina) 9-11 september 1998, pp. 124-131
summary	The paper presents the experience of the authors in the development of a course syllabus and instructional materials in the domain of Computer Aided Design (CAD). In particular, the paper highlights the demands imposed by the fast development of applications relevant to the field of architectural design and the need to offer flexible access to instruction in such a field and domain. The paper describes two parallel implementations of a course on Computer Aided Design, in the second year of the curriculum, and two implementations of an Electronic Design Studio, in the fourth year of the curriculum. Both CAD courses and Design Studios are offered by the same professors and therefore a considerable level of integration has been achieved. For conclusions, the paper addresses the characteristics of the pedagogic model used for the integration of the courses.

title	Arquitectos de Virtualidad - Nuevo Mercado, Nueva Curricula (Architects of Virtuality - New Market, New Curricula)
source	II Seminario Iberoamericano de Grafico Digital [SIGRADI Conference Proceedings / ISBN 978-97190-0-X] Mar del Plata (Argentina) 9-11 september 1998, pp. 116-123
summary	The potential of 3D virtual environments in the field of architecture and the roll of the architect in the development of such environments are subjects that require our attention. In particular, the subject of virtual architecture, not as representation of future buildings but as an architectural product to be inhabited in a virtual context, surely requires our attention. The paper addresses the question of validating Virtual Architecture" as an architectural product and makes reference to the potential it offers for the professional intervention of the architect. In such a context, the paper elaborates on the expertise that the Architects of Virtuality needs to acquire. For conclusions, the paper develops a model of curriculum that articulates traditional elements from the curriculum of architecture and the curriculum of graphic design.

title	Integrating Introductory CAAD Courses and Upper Level Electronic Design Studios
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.1998.157
source	Computers in Design Studio Teaching [EAAE/eCAADe International Workshop Proceedings / ISBN 09523687-7-3] Leuven (Belgium) 13-14 November 1998, pp. 157-164
summary	Although the use of computers has become widespread among architecture students, their use in design studios often lacks integration. To gain maximum advantage from computers, design students must acquire a breadth and depth of knowledge that allows them to choose the right tools, integrate multiple technologies, and apply knowledge to new situations. It is not possible for students to gain all of this knowledge in an ad hoc way as part of a design studio. Thus, an introductory CAAD course is a necessary prerequisite for participation in design studios that employ computer methods. The paper presents the experience of two faculty members currently working on the integration of their second year introductory CAAD courses and their fourth year Electronic Design Studios. The paper describes the pedagogical methods used in the introductory CAAD courses, and shows how they serve as the foundation for exercises in upper level electronic design studios. The paper also presents plans for the implementation of distance education methodologies in the delivery of computing and studio courses. The paper ends by providing conclusions that address how the use of computer technology permits the addition of instructional objectives that go beyond those of conventional design studios.
