summary The research presented further is part of the Digital Alberti research project, which aims to assess the infl uence of Leon Batista Alberti’s theory on Portuguese architecture, through the use of digital technologies. One of the project tasks implied computational and physical modelling of Alberti’s column system. Development of the computational model implied decoding Alberti’s treatise on architecture De re aedifi catoria into a consistent set of parameters and relationships, and then implementing these into generative parametric computer programs through visual programming language Grasshopper. This computational model is able to automatically generate physical models of classical columns according to Alberti’s canons. These digital models were then materialized through production of physical models, through rapid prototyping and digital fabrication technologies. Special attention is given to the CNC stone milling of a Corinthian capital.

title Alberti Digital – Tradição e inovação na teoria e prática da arquitectura em Portugal [Alberti Digital – Tradition and inovation in theory and practice at Portuguese architecture]

summary This article describes the class Alberti Digital taught at the Faculty of Architecture of the Technical University of Lisbon (FAUTL) and later in the Department of Architecture, University of Coimbra (Darq / UC), centered in interpretation and exploitation of Alberti`s treatise Da Arte Edificatoria where students had to develop a visual computer program with the algorithms present in the treatise to generate virtual and physical models using different digital fabrication techniques, allowing them to gain skills in the use of computational resources and knowledge of history and theory related with Renaissance architecture and the principles of Alberti in particular.
