RhinoMAQUIA is a Rhinoceros 5.0 course for architects that, along with other program plugins, facilitates the digital modeling and documentation of both orthogonal and highly complex geometric architectural projects.
Rhinoceros 5.0 is computer-aided design and modeling software capable of working with a wide variety of formats throughout the design process, allowing users to generate digital designs and subsequently outline prototyping strategies to bring their ideas to life. The course will cover the necessary theory for students to learn and develop their own critical analysis regarding the geometry they are designing and its relationship to contemporary movements within the digital architectural world.

"When architecture and urban design project their desire onto a (…) a terrain vague, they seem incapable of doing anything other than introducing violent transformations, changing estrangement into citizenship, and striving at all costs to dissolve the uncontaminated magic of the obsolete into the realism of efficacy. (…) Today, intervention in the existing city, in its residual spaces, in its folded interstices can no longer be either comfortable or efficacious in the manner postulated by the modern movement's efficient model of the enlightened tradition. How can architecture act in the terrain vague without becoming an aggressive instrument of power and abstract reason? Undoubtedly, through attention to continuity: not the continuity of the planned, efficient, and legitimized city, but of the flows, the energies, the rhythms established by the passing of time and the loss of limits... we should treat the residual city with a contradictory complicity that will not shatter the elements that maintain its continuity in time and space." Terrain Vague, Sola Morales, 1995

The goal of this first conference is to create a collective space for the exchange of ideas and knowledge among students, faculty, and researchers interested in reflecting on design, criticism, and the history of architecture.

Drawing on the provocative question posed by Raymond Carver in his 1987 book What We Talk About When We Talk About Love, the UTEM School of Architecture Week 2018 celebrates its 21st anniversary. The event seeks to critically examine what we understand by an architectural project and the many ways it can be approached from both academic and professional perspectives, framing a cross-disciplinary discussion throughout the week around the question: "What do we talk about when we talk about projects?"
