summary	The historical split between visualization and actualization in architectural design has encouraged a disciplinary split between representation (the domain of the designer) and construction (a domain entirely removed from the Architect’s purview). This split between seeing and doing in architectural design can be questioned in the context of contemporary robotic technologies where physical and digital workflows comingle in high-skill, collaborative domains.

title	Space, Events and Urban Performance

summary	This report investigates different kinds of Urban Performance in Thames Path, South Bank of Thames River. Urban Performance is defined here as the expression or manifestation of different social groups in the city space regarding the appropriation of a specific place for its spatial practices. The Urban Performances are intrinsic to the cultural expression of the city and revealed through the spatial experience of both performer and spectator. The aim of this paper is to shed light on different kind of urban performances and how are they linked to spatial and syntactic properties of space. This topic is intrinsic in the space syntax theory due its fundamental relation between spatiality and human activity. The research method used were, direct observations by static snapshots and traces (related with human movement) and a survey of potential attractors, active facades and path widths. The results were overlaid with spatial analysis in terms of performers isovists and syntactic analysis through visibility graph. The findings show a strong relation between performers’ use of space and visibility in the urban area, and a high influence of the cultural attractions and public services that works as movement attractors. The discussion is developed through the research findings and theories of spatial experience putting forward varied interpretations related with the research topic and the selected site. The report concludes that the urban performances in Thames path is determined by the human co presence in the space, due to this strategic points chosen along the path by the performers are strongly related with the visual connections in the system. Furthermore, the attractors play an important role shaping the spatial experience and urban character of the studied area.

summary	The notion of design spaces (DS) can be understood as the potential of a parametric model, it is basically the number of possible combinations for its input parameters. When combining tools that produce these alternatives automatically with different simulation softwares, the concept of parametric analysis (PA) emerges. This implies a simultaneous evaluation of the alternatives as they are constructed by the parametric model, producing large amounts of information. This article describes a sectional approach to the management of this information and a visualization technique to represent it looking for correlations between the input parameters and their performance. Correlations that are fundamental to making decisions with confidence when design problems challenge traditional methods of decision-making based on heuristics and design expertise.

summary	Visual Communication researches of Chile and Mexico are studying a basic model to optimize the development multimedial supports used in the teaching - learning process. The investigation contrasts supports developed conventionally with supports containing variables of redundancy, hierarchy of contents, navigation and visual noise. The analysis applied in Graphic Design students of the Universities of Bío-Bío of Chile and Autónoma Metropolitana of Mexico, included the design of four “electronic books”, two prescribed by the governing model, and other two were modified by the mentioned variables. The Following aspects were evaluated: navigation facility, message’s visibility and legibility, level of comprehension and application of contents and level of user’s acceptance. The results show that the adequate control of variables are in some instances so much or more important than assigned them to the semantic treatment, mainly because involve to the content in a learning sensorial.

title	Computationally Analyzing Biometric Data and Virtual Response Testing in Evaluating Learning Performance of Educational Setting Through
source	SIGraDi 2018 [Proceedings of the 22nd Conference of the Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics - ISSN: 2318-6968] Brazil, São Carlos 7 - 9 November 2018, pp. 390-396
summary	Due to construction costs, the human effects of innovations in architectural design can be expensive to test. Post-occupancy studies provide valuable data about what did and did not work in the past, but they cannot provide direct feedback for new ideas that have not yet been attempted. This presents designers with something of a dilemma. How can we harness the best potential of new technology and design innovation, while avoiding costly and potentially harmful mistakes? The current research use virtual immersion and biometric data to provide a new form of extremely rigorous human-response testing prior to construction. The researchers’ hypothesis was that virtual test runs can help designers to identify potential problems and successes in their work prior to its being physically constructed. The pilot study aims to develop a digital pre-occupancy toolset to understand the impact of different interior design variables of learning environment (independent variables) on learning performance (dependent variable). This project provides a practical toolset to test the potential human impacts of architectural design innovations. The research responds to a growing call in the field for evidence-based design and for an inexpensive means of evaluating the potential human effects of new designs. Our research will address this challenge by developing a prototype mobile brain-body imaging interface that can be used in conjunction with virtual immersion.

summary	The physical design of the learning environment has been shown to contribute significantly to student performance and educational outcomes. However, the existing literature on this topic relies primarily on generalized observations rather than on rigorous empirical testing. Broad trends in environmental impacts have been noted, but there is a lack of detailed evidence about how specific design variables can affect learning performance. The goal of this study was to apply a new approach in examining classroom design innovations. We developed a protocol to evaluate the effectiveness of classroom designs by measuring the physical responses of study participants as they interacted with different designs using a virtual reality platform. Our hypothesis was that virtual “test runs” can help designers to identify potential problems and successes in their work prior to its being physically constructed. The results of our initial pilot study indicated that this approach could yield important results about human responses to classroom design, and that the virtual environment seemed to be a reliable testing substitute when compared against real classroom environments. In addition to leading toward practical conclusions about specific classroom design variables, this project provides a new kind of research method and toolset to test the potential human impacts of a wide variety of architectural innovations.

summary	This paper shows the work performed by the Group of Digital Productions of the Cuban Institute of Cinematographic Art and Industry (ICAIC), which is carrying out the digitalization process of the Cuban film material. This paper details the steps in the process, starting from a celluloid matrix up to the DVD format. The digital technology is used in almost all areas of the production, including DVD creation, which is the current format of distribution.

summary	The ongoing research at the Institute of Architecture and Urbanism of the University of Sao Paulo, with funding from FAPESP in 2023, aimed to contribute to the documentation of the architectural heritage of Sao Carlos, through 3D digital mapping and its application on education, using Virtual Reality. For the heritage documentation, it was used the photogrammetry - SfM (Structure from Motion) method, aero photogrammetry with the aid of drone (DJI Mavic Mini Pro Drone with 48MP camera) and laser scanning (FOCUS s350 Scanner and FOCUS M70 Laser Scanner). For the Virtual Reality experience, it used Oculus Rift S and Oculus Quest 2. The experimental and qualitative methodology was used as a deployment, the data collected were used as base data, allowing multiscale immersion with the use of VR glasses in the creative design process for the building of the Dr. Álvaro Guiao State School.
