This symposium will bring together in Portugal, ISCTE-IUL, a set of internationally renowned investigators in the field of Digital Fabrication and Architecture.
We challenge participants in this symposium to question and reflect on how the exploitation of computing can improve the design and performance of architecture; how the experience and perception of space can be enriched through the integration of emerging technologies; how shape can be parametrically generated and evolve and, above all, how to take advantage of digital modeling to produce different physical objects. This event is of great relevance in view of the new technological challenges and the teaching of Architecture in Portugal. With this event we aim to underline and share new conceptual and research methodologies as well as new career opportunities.
The symposium will be followed by a Workshop on Digital Manufacturing where the participants can experience some of the technologies addressed to in the lectures.
