title	The Computer is to Blame - The Disruptive Potential of a CAD Curriculum in an Architecture / Curriculum
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2002.050
source	Connecting the Real and the Virtual - design e-ducation [20th eCAADe Conference Proceedings / ISBN 0-9541183-0-8] Warsaw (Poland) 18-20 September 2002, pp. 50-54
summary	In 2001 “DesignIntelligence” and the “Almanac of Architecture and Design” conducted a survey in which they interviewed over 800 leading U.S. architecture firms. The fundamental question was: “In your firm’s hiring experience within the past five years, which schools do you feel have best prepared students for the architecture profession?” This survey produces one of the most respected rankings of schools of architecture in the U.S., but in addition to that critical question, the survey gathers data on a number of additional parameters that are of fundamental importance on why some schools are doing better than others. If we compare current figures with figures of previous years we see that our students are improving in their computer skills at the same time that they are loosing ground in other skills and fields of knowledge. For a non-inquisitive mind the reason is simple: “Our students are too busy working on the computer and are failing to put attention to other important stuff”. This paper makes an attempt to understand the problem from a fair perspective and highlight ways in which our growth in the field of CAD, and the pervasive presence of computer technology in our classrooms, can be used to enhance our teaching / learning capabilities in fields that are currently failing to achieve excellence.

title	Cómputo en el Tránsito de la Escuela Secundaria a la Universidad y de la Universidad a la Oficina de Arquitectura [Computation in the Transition between the Secondary School to the University and from the University to the Office of Architecture]
source	SIGraDi 2002 - [Proceedings of the 6th Iberoamerican Congress of Digital Graphics] Caracas (Venezuela) 27-29 november 2002, pp. 245-247
summary	This paper makes reference to the actual and potential development of computer applications in the field of architectural education. In particular, we address issues of infrastructure, faculty and curriculum. At the same time, the paper outlines relationships between prevailing tendencies both in high schools as well as professional offices. In this way we manage to present a consistent vision in which academia and profession articulate IT resources responding to their own agendas. This analysis is illustrated bymeans of the actual conditions under which the School of Architecture at Texas A&M University operates. The paper ends making reference to the challenge of globalization in academia and the profession in the 21st century.

title	Sistemas hipermediales, efectos del tamaño de los nodos y del número de vínculos [Hyper medial Systems; Size effects of the nodes and number of bonds]
source	SIGraDi 2002 - [Proceedings of the 6th Iberoamerican Congress of Digital Graphics] Caracas (Venezuela) 27-29 november 2002, pp. 186-189
summary	A Hypermedia system is, morphologically speaking, an information structure which organizes a set of elements of alphanumeric and graphic nature as a web. This enables a multidimensional access from specific interests. One of the most widespread hypermedia applications is within the field of education. There should be validation criteria which contribute to systematize and direct design processes for didactic hypermedia. This work aims at becoming a contribution by analyzing the relations and effects produced by the number of links and node sizes on some basic didactic uses; particularly, within information search, learning and attitude towards hypermedia. From the results obtained, we propose guidelines for the design of didactic Web Sites and CD Rom.

title	Laboratorios gráficos virtuales - Nuevo rol de la experimentación en la formación del arquitecto [Virtual Graphic Laboratories - New Role of the Experimentation in the Education of an Architect ]
source	SIGraDi 2002 - [Proceedings of the 6th Iberoamerican Congress of Digital Graphics] Caracas (Venezuela) 27-29 november 2002, pp. 146-150
summary	New conceptions such as virtual environments for learning and virtual laboratories are beginning to configure an important body of knowledge and resources the benefits of which, once properly adapted and channeled to architectural formation should be incorporated to schools and faculties of architecture within an integrated optic seeking its most productive futureapplication. The purpose of the following work is to present an overview of advances, initiatives and resources currently under development in schools of architecture or related environments and, particularly, of those tools used as a basis for conducting virtual experiments in teaching and training regarding a future evaluation and orientation of such an activity within the different knowledge area The research actually underway is totally based upon resources and tools identified and available via the Internet-WWW

title	Turban - Time sensitive modelling of cities and urban fragments in CAD environments
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2002.296
source	Connecting the Real and the Virtual - design e-ducation [20th eCAADe Conference Proceedings / ISBN 0-9541183-0-8] Warsaw (Poland) 18-20 September 2002, pp. 296-300
summary	Town planning requires conscious handling of the existing urban structure and knowledge about its history. Only so planned modifications and supplements can be integrated in a sustainable manner into existing urban structures and have lasting effects. Modern CAD environments offer basically the possibility of supporting necessary planning process through additional integrated tools. In the project ‘Turban’ CAD extensions were developed additionally, providing planners and students with fundamental tools for data-capture and analysis around the temporal process from town developments.

title	Hacia un vínculo entre el boceto y las herramientas de modelado NURBS: La representación de superficies de doble curvatura en el diseño industrial [The link between the Sketch and Tools of Modeled NURBS: The Representation of Surfaces of Double Curvature in Industrial Design ]
source	SIGraDi 2002 - [Proceedings of the 6th Iberoamerican Congress of Digital Graphics] Caracas (Venezuela) 27-29 november 2002, pp. 289-290
summary	This poster shows a methodological approach developed at the School ofIndustrial Design (Universidad de Los Andes, Venezuela) in order to achievethree objectives. Firstly, to assist future industrial designers to analyze and guide their ideas during the early stages of the design process with a sort of graphics, whose expressive precision is different to the metric one. Secondly, to help students to improve their graphic skills in order to communicate their ideas to others during the form creation phases of thedesign process. Thirdly, to promote the use of drawing as a way to define a link between hand drawing and modeling in CAD’s NURBS*. These aspects are especially relevant if we consider that such methodological links, although are frequently assumed by some design firms, they have been hardly visualized in the academic environment as part of the “teaching- learning” process.

title	Structuring Lay Knowledge in a GI Perspective: Problems and Pitfall
source	Timmermans, Harry (Ed.), Sixth Design and Decision Support Systems in Architecture and Urban Planning - Part two: Urban Planning Proceedings Avegoor, the Netherlands), 2002
summary	The present contribution, starting from some considerations developed in environmental planning domain, discusses the representation of lay knowledge in a GIS environment. Two paths of exploration in dealing with representational problems are sketched. The first is concerned with the structuring of an acquired cognitive base and, the other is about the implementation of cognitive routines. In particular the structuring process of a lay cognitive base is discussed starting from recent developments in GIS technologies and information theories. Difficulties and pitfalls, which arouse during a case study related to an environmental planning experience being carried on for a national natural park, are presented. The experimentation work is discussed also in relation with a preliminary attempt of outputs validation carried out with people who, in a preliminary stage, were interviewed in order to acquire lay knowledge.
