Choosing high-performance BIM software is key to developing efficient projects by automating tasks unrelated to core design, such as documentation, calculations, and other tedious processes. This reduces the time spent on these critical details, minimizing errors that lead to project delays or cost overruns.

This year, the way we inhabit our cities and homes has undergone a radical shift due to the pandemic. Diseases, plagues, wars, and catastrophes have forced us to reorganize our cities and create new systems and typologies. Similarly, this pandemic has prompted us to question how we work, study, rest, and inhabit. WAUM 2020 will reflect on potential scenarios through interventions that allow us to "repair the current city" based on three visions: the city of delights, the distributed city, and the healthy city. Each participating group, composed of students from different universities and guided by a faculty team, will adopt one of these three visions to propose an artifact, system, building, or structure that functions as a "repairing" prototype—one that is non-site-specific yet applicable to various situations.
