Conference Theme

EuropIA Conferences are organized as a cross-platform for the study and analysis of the application of the ICT to architecture, archaeology, building engineering, civil engineering, urban design and policy analysis.
The aim of EuropIA international conferences is to promote advancements of information and communication technology (ICT) and their effective application for the Building and Construction industry.

The characteristic of these conferences is the interaction of different disciplines regarding their approach, methods and techniques for the application of advanced technologies.
Specifics of disciplines are not the subject of the conference but serve as cases.
Cross-platform discussions and interactions help to enhance scope of these technologies beyond their existing application limits.
We seek a discussion of terms and conditions for introducing new tools and new strategies - required by the inevitable changes of the professional and educational working.

The main theme of the EuropIA 13 is Collaborative Design Spaces.
Industry and the building industry in particular are being stirred up by new design methods, aimed at overcoming the increasing complexity of their respective products. Collaborative Engineering takes pride of place in that it has the potential to enhance the design process through a more effective collaboration between different and widely separated teams of specialists. Its aim is to provide concepts, technologies and innovative solutions.
Collaboration allows for a flexible and adaptable development of the work carried out in networked organizational structures, such that the outcome of the work will be shared and contributed to by a wider range of experts, thus benefiting from and facilitating the spread of innovative methods and ideas within organizations.

Instrument or Tools

(Instrument or Outil in French Strumento o Utensile in Italian)

The Alexander Koyre's definition of Instrument as Materialization of the Spirit

(Etudes sur l'histoire de la pensée philosophiques en Russie, tr. parziale di Paola Zambelli, Dal mondo del pressappoco all'universo della precisione, Einaudi, Torino, 1967.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

So there is no doubt that the IT represents an Instrument that should go towards subjectivity, personalization, materialization of individuals' presence and desires.. in architectural and urban design too.

Antonino Saggio, Introduzione alla Rivoluzione Informatica in architettura
Carocci, Roma 2007 (pp. 164)
English Version "The IT revolution in Architecture. Thoughts on a Paradigm shift"

 

The "discovery of" or "the incoporation of" the Spirit in Google

 

 

Five principles of Teaching Architectural and Urban Design:

1. Development of a critical point of view on reality (proactive attitude)

2. Development of IT awareness in the area of communication and sharing

3. Active involvement of an outside promoter in the project development

 

Some differences:

One Single design program vs Multiple design programs

One single Area vs Multi areas

Pre-defined Urban Strategies vs Bottom Up Urban Strategies

Automi cellulari e flock behavior generano un pattern per la continuità del parco in superficie e per generare un'intrigante spazialità sotteranea di un nuovo Museo del Tram aRoma. Lungo la ferrovia abbandonata del Parco di Centocelle riutilizzata come tratto della UGL™

Stazione al Parco della Caffarella e Centro per la conservazione delle Biodiversità Vegetali

Michela Damiani AA 09-10 discussa Ottobre 2010 Relatore A. Saggio

Lungo il bordo del Parco della Appia Antica, lungo la storica Via Latina, il progetto ricava una stazione della UGL™ che in questo tratto ha un binario sotterraneo. Lo scavo consente di dare sistemazione ai resti archeologici e di accedere ad un nodo informativo per la visita al Parco. Il progetto è completato con leggere strutture parzialmente ipogee che creano una sistemazione paesaggistica e funzionale per la fruizione della grande risorsa archeologica e naturale del bellissimo Parco da parte dei cittadini.
