summary |
Professor Arturo Montagu passed away on 8th April, 2005, after a five-year long courageous battle against cancer. Arturo was one of the world's pioneers in architectural computing whose work and teaching influenced generations of professional and researchers, in Latin-America and beyond. It was through him that SIGraDi was created and that many of today's relationships among people in the rchitectural computing community got started and thrived. Despite his illness, he continued working unabatedly until the very end. In fact, few people ever noticed that he was sick. The sheer force of his intellectural activity for a long period of time in the 20th century – dense and valuable like few in architectural computing – and his invincible spirit hid the marks of his illness for a long time. This article summarizes Professor Montagu's contributions to the field of architectural computing and includes tributes from four people who knew him well but through very different circumstances. |
