Sketching has always been an essential part of the architect’s creative process. Case in point, architect I.M. Pei drafted his preliminary design for the East Wing of the National Gallery of Art on a cocktail napkin.
Modern architectural sketches combine design intent with data and constraints. The sketch grows in resolution as layers of information are added by different stakeholders. Architects today use both tactile and digital tools for sketching. The conundrum has been to choose either the flexibility offered by freeform modelers or the data-richness offered by BIM tools.

The Bachelor of Science in Design* (BS Design) program at SCI-Arc is a 4-year degree preparing students for interdisciplinary creative careers in cinematic design, gaming, and data-based urban planning and design, using architecture as a platform for exploration.
On 15 September, the city of Valencia will become the epicenter of national and international architecture with the celebration of the Andreu World Architecture Days. The main objective of this project, promoted by Andreu World, is to create a meeting point for professionals in the fields of architecture and design.
The congress aims to showcase the possibilities that products and technologies currently available in the construction market, along with global trends, offer to architectural design. It is aimed at architects, engineers, consultants, manufacturers, architectural glass processors, suppliers for the enclosure industry, and representatives of construction companies. Over its twelve previous editions, SISTECCER has established itself as a meeting point for experts from both the country and abroad to expand knowledge on building envelope technologies.
Intangible industrial heritage will always be present in discussions, as the Forum's proposal is also to safeguard the techniques, designs, products, professionals, and works that form the framework of the modern industrial heritage collection.
We are continuing the discussions regarding two relatively recent heritage typologies that require greater attention in contemporary times: modern and industrial heritage. The goal is to foster dialogue between modernity and the industrial production that utilized new materials, construction systems, and architectural works that defined this era. These works must be constantly remembered, as they unfortunately suffer from ongoing alterations or even demolition due to a lack of recognition as heritage assets by much of society.
The "Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Applied to the Territory" course introduces this system, which allows for the capture, storage, analysis, management, and presentation of all types of geographic data by establishing relationships between architecture, territory, and GIS.

Throughout history, schools and prisons have shared the same spatial principles, as they were built to discipline and direct their inhabitants and users. However, in recent years, new visions have finally begun to emerge regarding how we should teach within an increasingly less hierarchical and pyramidal system, and how spaces intended to foster the creation and exchange of knowledge should be designed. Simultaneously, educational buildings in Colombia have become increasingly regulated, bringing their design to a level of specialization comparable only to hospital architecture.
As we stand at the dawn of a new technological era, architects and designers are witnessing a paradigm shift in the industry. The advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and collaborative design solutions are transforming the professional landscape, redefining the boundaries between creativity and technology. This article delves into these emerging trends and introduces cutting-edge tools designed to address the challenges inherent in this sweeping wave of innovation, relieving architects from the anxiety of navigating the unknown.
Idealism and materialism, those two antagonistic philosophical visions, are constantly perceived in architecture. Juan Gris said that a nail was made with the idea of a nail, while Braque thought that a nail was made with iron.
The latest edition of the long-standing magazine from the Association of Architecture Offices (AOA) covers the evolution, regeneration, and recovery of cities, along with the need to challenge the paradigms that have been mandatory in planning and that must be reconsidered to significantly improve the quality of life in neighborhoods, towns, and cities. This was stated by the magazine's director, Yves Besançon, while unveiling the contents of issue #48 at an event that brought together associates, professionals, and partners at Espacio AOA.
