title	RECORRIDO INTERACTIVO POR ESCENARIOS VIRTUALES DE GRANDES DIMENSIONES (Intgeractive Navegation Through Virtual Scenes of Great Dimensions)
source	SIGraDi biobio2001 - [Proceedings of the 5th Iberoamerican Congress of Digital Graphics / ISBN 956-7813-12-4] Concepcion (Chile) 21-23 november 2001, pp. 165-168
summary	The use of virtual models in architecture has grown steadily in the last decade. 2D, 21/2, 3D and 4D are labels that resume this recent history and that refer to models that can be inspected in a programmed or an interactive mode. But in the case of 4D models this distinction, trivial in the previous cases, implies technical and conceptual issues that are quite relevant to the architectural world. This paper touches these issues in relation with a big model, including large areas of Barcelona, that is being developped at the Laboratorio de Modelado Virtual de la Ciudad and that has already atracted the attention of the public authorities as it allows an interactive approach to new projects inserted in the existing buidings of the city.

title	Images to Save a River
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.1995.409
source	Multimedia and Architectural Disciplines [Proceedings of the 13th European Conference on Education in Computer Aided Architectural Design in Europe / ISBN 0-9523687-1-4] Palermo (Italy) 16-18 November 1995, pp. 409-416
summary	The paper presented is based on a work, developed by the authors, which concluded with an exhibition that was inaugurated in Barcelona on the 23th of april, 1995 and will proceed to other places the next year. The work consisted in the organization of an exhibition and the development and visual simulation of 14 projects aimed to promote ways to rescue the Besos river that crosses the north side of Barcelona and is probably one of the most degradated rivers of Europe. Our task was to select and suggest ways of acting on the landscape that could be easily understood and assimilated to a program that implied a complex and long term task. From the technical point of view the job implied particular aspects that are also discussed in the paper.

title	Homeorhetic Assemblies - Turning beehive formation dynamics into high-res tectonics
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2016.1.435
source	Herneoja, Aulikki; Toni Österlund and Piia Markkanen (eds.), Complexity & Simplicity - Proceedings of the 34th eCAADe Conference - Volume 1, University of Oulu, Oulu, Finland, 22-26 August 2016, pp. 435-444
summary	This thesis research investigates the architectural and tectonic potential that can stem from behavioral complexity of collective construction in biological systems and its dynamic relations with the colony in terms of the continuous construction and adaptation process over the time. The role model considered as a case study regards the dynamics of honeycomb formation, and in particular three fundamental behaviours have been extracted from this biological process: stigmergic behavior, structural self-stabilization capacity and environmental adaptability. All these features were then coded into a multi agent system interacting in an heterogeneous environment and capable of selectively adding elements to a particle-spring system that is periodically self-adjusting, simulating material behavior. The outcomes, strongly rich and heterogeneous in their spatial organization, are characterized by a continuous tectonic of emerging singularities seamlessly flowing into one another.

title	Architecture now! = contemporary imagination + new information technologies
source	SIGraDi 2005 - [Proceedings of the 9th Iberoamerican Congress of Digital Graphics] Lima - Peru 21-24 november 2005, vol. 1, pp. 459-462
summary	The development of the architectural project is conditioned and determined by the design process, in which the operative modalities have big influence. That is why we can dare say, that the use of digital media and new information technologies in the architectural design process open the way to a “new architecture”, an architecture that represents the Contemporary Imagination. A change has taken place in the traditional patterns of Architecture, from the way of thinking and conceiving a project to its representation and later materialization. This “Contemporary Architecture”, founded in the circumstances of contemporary society, is represented by three main architectural consequences: 1. The expansion of the Spatial Imagination; 2. The break regarding a lineal or hierarchical design process; 3. The introduction of different disciplines to the design process, relating the design immediately with its realization.

summary	The customary crisis that affects the countries of the region (Latin and Central America) has obliged architects and designers, by need or by affinity, to occupy other professional and educational fields that not necessarily were envisaged in the traditional curricular systems of schools of architecture and design. The so called “design disciplines” are those careers related to “architecture, urbanism and design” and the “associated disciplines” are referred to general culture and the human environment. “Digital culture” is the operative and conceptual tool, common to both type of disciplines that adapt it contents to the new models of “communication” that proposes the contemporary “society”.

title	Urbamedia Desarrollo de una base de datos de fragmentos urbanos de ciudades argentinas y latinoamericanas utilizando tecnología digital “VRML” (Virtual Reality Modelling Language) [“Urbamedia” Database Development of urban fragments of Argentinean and Latin cities utilizing the digital technology of VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language)]
source	SIGraDi 2002 - [Proceedings of the 6th Iberoamerican Congress of Digital Graphics] Caracas (Venezuela) 27-29 november 2002, pp. 112-115
summary	The proposal of “Urbamedia” is to undertake the development of a 3D virtual and interactive model of an historical area of the city of Buenos Aires. The selected zone is the “Mayo Avenue” including the “Mayo Square”; this project is financed by the National Agency of Scientific and Technological Development of Argentina and the University of Buenos Aires.We are presenting and experimental model of the “Mayo Square” that has been developed at ABACUS, Department of Architecture & Building Aids Computer Unit, University of Strathclyde UK. We are also looking to include histórical areas of three cities (Mar del Plata, Rosario and Santa Fe) and eventually other cities from Latin América. Due that ABACUS has a strong experience in city modelling plus the powerful software and hardware used there, we must develop a VRML customized menu to be adapted to our low cost PC equipment. The 3D model will be used mainly in urban design simulation procedures and the idea is to extend to other type of simulationsof the environmental parameters.

summary	Throughout these pages are made known the persons, the projects and the books that have influenced my actions and that they will be mentioned in form underlined in this paper. I have to emphasize that since 1965 to 1970, and in the continuous search that I was accomplishing to find data and bibliography adapted to the topic of computer graphics, only two series of publications contained topics related to this matter at that time: one was the IBM Journal and the other series was the communications of the ACM. The purpose of this work is to make known an experience accomplished throughout 30 years of intense activity in finding new methods of drawing and design, based on the use of digital computers, mainly in Argentina, and during certain periods of time in Great Britain and since 1971 during short visits to the United States and also in France. The first idea emerged in the year 1965 when I was assistant teacher at the School of Architecture of the University of Buenos Aires, as a combination of ideas between the concepts of spatial geometry and the current morphological studies that we taught in the Course of professor Gaston Breyer. However the idea of automatic drawing emerged observing the operation of the first scientific digital computer installed in the Computing Institute of the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Buenos Aires in 1963 (Sadosky 1963). At the beginning, the approach to the computer were not accomplished from a strictly scientific point of view, but it was implying a kind of "sincresis" (Koheler 1940) it is more than a synthesis, because I was tried to combine ideas that have had its origin in different worlds of thinking, the analogous world and the digital world, and this situation was very difficult to accept at that time.The designing procedures in the decade 1960's was deeply rooted (and still continues) in the architectural design field as a result of a drawing process based in heuristic techniques.

summary	Chaos and disorder are adjectives repeated ad nauseam in contemporary discussions on the City of Panama and its architecture. This study intends to find an order in this apparent chaos and chart the development of Panamanian Architecture during the last 25 years. Going beyond the expected list of every important building of the period, we offer a vision of Architecture as a blob generated by these milestones and that envelops them, moving and changing shape with time. This fluctuating form, which is the Architecture of Panama from 1976 to 2000, is generated by using a Style Vs. Time graph, a diagram that allows us to plot each building according to its “style”.

title	A eficiência da comunicação gráfica digital na etapa de projeto e seu reflexo na construção de uma edificação [The efficiency of digital graphic communication at the proeject stage and its impact on the construction of a building]
source	SIGraDi 2010_Proceedings of the 14th Congress of the Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics, pp. Bogotá, Colombia, November 17-19, 2010, pp. 62-65
summary	This research studies digital technology in graphic communication among professionals in building design, and its reflection in construction. There is evidence of difficulties caused by interference among the participants involved in building projects, resulting in rework, construction waste and discontent. The effectiveness of graphic communication among professionals is related to the efficiency of constructions. This research has identified procedures in the establishment of projects that contribute positively, or not, to the quality of graphic communication among professionals. After listing these procedures, the research identified their reflections in construction. The results confirm that it is possible to identify positive and negative consequences of graphic communication procedures among professionals involved in building construction.

summary	This paper studies how people extract qualitative information from spatial networks and, in particular, how people encode hierarchical information taken from urban grids. It describes an experiment in which fifty - two people were asked to outline the main street of three different spatial systems that were intentionally designed to look alike. People´s answers were evaluated by examining their configurative and metric characteristics. The main findings show that retrieving hierarchical information depends on the coordination of metric (how long a given street is) and configurative properties (how connected to the entire system a street is).

source	Digital Design [21th eCAADe Conference Proceedings / ISBN 0-9541183-1-6] Graz (Austria) 17-20 September 2003, pp. 279-286
summary	This paper seeks to contribute to the discussion about the changed expectations towards computers as design tools by presenting three case studies describing how a computer aided design (CAD) system is used in a design setting. The first case describes how the commercial CAD system is presented to students of architecture at a university. The second and third case studies show how designers in an architectural firm have evolved distinctly different ways of augmenting their creative thinking using the CAD system. The three cases demonstrate how designers adopt standard tools and adapt their individual design processes to utilize digital media creatively.

source	SIGraDi 2005 - [Proceedings of the 9th Iberoamerican Congress of Digital Graphics] Lima - Peru 21-24 november 2005, vol. 1, pp. 410-415
summary	Evolutionary approaches to complex quantifiable design problems are becoming common, but the possibilities of using subjective functions in an evolutionary process are just beginning to be explored. Three subjective operations are presented that mimic simple models of biological evolution and genetics, but are based on visual memes as units of transmission: phenotypic blending, memetic meiosis, and meme splicing. The untapped strength of evolutionary design is the ability to unify both objective and subjective criteria in a single method, which will enable it to become the preferred generative process of architecture.

summary	This paper discusses the aesthetical motivations which would lead the appropriation of the photographic image by the differents imagetic creation, without considering the base’s nature. The study looks at the regard’s idiosyncrasies, the photographic image nature and its aesthetic apreension as a photopoetic reality. This would establish the creator from differents imagetic poetics would lead the appropriation of the photograhic. The theoretical basis of this study is Bachelard’s Phenomenology of the creative imagination and poetic image.
