A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
The digital revolution poses several questions to scholars of architectural representation. It is now difficult to speak of Geometry, because we have to distinguish between various geometries , and we can expand the potential construction of topology and form finding of parametric relationships. It also raises the question about the current function of Drawing: from the undisputed foundation of the arts, in fact, drawing can now be replaced by images obtained by a process that often begins with the construction of a 3D model, then coated with materials and inserted in an existing or imagined setting that provides light sources. This process has strong similarities with the traditional artistic practices denouncing a foundation in their roots in contrast to its revolutionary potential.
