Do Desenho à Concepção Arquitectónica - Recursos Digitais

Abstract

In this project, new potentials were investigated arising from the application of digital technology in architecture, resorting to the analyses of methods in which the digital resources are form generators. Impelled by the emergence of various techniques based on digital creation, Architecture today finds itself exploring the possibilities of "form finding". This project analyses the process of digital generation, based on concepts such as: Modifiers, Surfaces, Animation, Analisys. The various possibilities of architectural materialization play an equally important role within this document, as a form of physical viability of digital resources. To conclude, this theory is then corroborated with a practical modeling example and prototype, generating a full scale model using only digital means.
