Digital Architecture - Choices for the Present and Trends for the Future
Originally published in 2015. References to events, registration, prices and professional profiles in this part of the post belong to that period. EBBIM, Empresa Brasileira de BIM, was known as TI Lab at that time.
Digital Architecture - Choices for the Present and Trends for the Future
The term Digital Architecture has been used more and more often by a large number of students and professionals whose studies and output are closely tied to computing and to new ways of designing and producing their ideas. The presentation shows several case studies that aim to portray a global overview of what has been produced on this topic: parametric modeling, programming, embedded electronics, fabrication and prototyping, 3D scanners, augmented reality, among others.
Our talks count as complementary activities in undergraduate architecture, engineering, and design courses.
Duration: 1 hour
Target audience: Architecture students from 3rd year onward
João Gaspar – Architect graduated from FAU-USP in 1999, gives numerous talks on BIM, technology, and the use of computing for architecture, engineering, and design. He has more than 14 years of experience in teaching, research, and the creation of educational material, heading EBBIM (a training center specialized in BIM) and ProBooks Editora, both headquartered in São Paulo.
EBBIM offered more than 20 at the time training courses, among which the Revit, ArchiCAD, Vectorworks, Rhino, and SketchUp courses stand out.
ProBooks is a publishing house that was born out of the production of educational content for EBBIM's courses. Our focus is editing and publishing content related to technology and digital design for architecture and design. ProBooks Editora's portfolio includes, among others, the books ArchiCAD passo a passo, Vectorworks passo a passo, and SketchUp Pro 2013 passo a passo; the latter has been translated into English and Spanish.
