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.
The Congress of Scientific Initiation in Architecture and Urbanism (CICAU) is designed as a space for reflection and exchange for students, faculty, and graduates of architecture and related fields. It seeks to focus on, interpret, analyze, and debate the challenges facing contemporary cities through the framework of scientific research—a practice we find lacking in higher education and one we believe must be reinforced to improve the training of future architects.
CICAU emerged from the well-established regional and national meetings of the Brazilian FeNEA (Federação Nacional de Estudantes de Arquitetura). The goal is to foster an exchange of information among students, providing insight into scientific production in each country, as well as their respective particularities, lifestyles, and approaches to architectural and urban challenges.
