l'uso creativo del computer, modellare e gestire la complessità
2007
L'avvento del digitale come principale strumento della produzione umana segna l'epoca. Nel breve arcoo di una generazione, un nuovo strumentario visivo e concettuale si è imposto globalmente attraverso l'avvento dei linguaggi informatici e la diffusione dei sistemi digitali. In particolare i temi ed i metodi di progettazione hanno subito una rivoluzione del proprio strumentario tradizionale.Sembra si stia realizzand, grazie alla tecnologia, il sogno modernista di unificazione dei linguaggi creativi: il proliferare di nuovi tools (strumenti) informatici sembra dare corpo ai risultati sperimentali delle avanguardie storiche.

La posizione assunta dall'architettura all'inizio del ventunesimo secolo è ambigua e così la forma degli edifici che ambiscono a convogliare significati. Il processo di radicale trasformazione dell’architettura, avvenuto sin dal primo Novecento, quale conseguenza della graduale sostituzione delle tecniche edilizie tradizionali con le tecniche “moderne”, ha subito un notevole slancio nell'ultimo ventennio, per effetto del crescente mutamento tecnologico. I materiali, le tecniche costruttive e l’innovazione tecnologica hanno condizionato sensibilmente ed irreversibilmente il pensiero architettonico, producendo in questi ultimi anni nuove espressività linguistiche del tutto “insolite” rispetto…
Contributions to Phase Two of AGATA electronics
2020
En el campo de la física nuclear, la espectroscopia de rayos gamma de alta resolución es un método preciso para estudiar la estructura del núcleo, extrayendo la energía y la distribución angular de los fotones gamma emitidos en las transiciones entre estados nucleares. Para obtener núcleos en un estado excitado y por tanto emitan rayos gamma, hemos de hacer chocar la materia, produciendo reacciones nucleares (espectroscopia de haz) o recurrir a desintegraciones radiactivas (espectroscopia de desintegración). Los detectores de semiconductor de germanio de alta pureza (HPGe) han demostrado tener una buena respuesta interaccionando con rayos gamma. Al igual que otros detectores de basados en s…
Digital revolution in current architecture: towards a new architectural expressivity
2013
The triumphal entry of computing in architectural design has produced a real revolution in architectural scenario, but, until now it is unclear how we can identify digital influences in each project and how they have contributed to the birth of new expressive trends. We have developed a framework for identifying and classifying architectural design elements that should be attributed to the methods and techniques of design computing. This framework is then applied to sixty prominent recent buildings which are acknowledged products of digital means. The goals of this are, firstly, to verify the applicability of the descriptive framework and, secondly, to identify combinations of elements that…
Towards which expressive horizons?
2012
Today’s explosive developments in digital technology have also affected architecture and urban landscape. The new possibilities opened up by digital simulation have led to an increasingly strategic approach to planning, an approach based on generating scenarios, which thus represents a radical departure from traditional planning. But, up to now, what is the prevalent trend in architecture? Can we talk yet in term of language? Or have the extreme freedom in design destroyed the style? In this paper we present an analysis of the contemporary architecture, strongly influenced by digital technologies, through an objective analysis of several case-studies and we show the first result of this in …
New digital trends in current architecture. A comprehensive critical examination
2017
The research presented is about digital revolution in architecture, which has contributed to the birth of new figurative trends. The work was conducted through the definition of a framework to identify and classify architectural design elements that should be attributed to the methods and techniques of design computing, then applied to sixty prominent recent architectures which are acknowledged products of digital means. The early results suggest that a new era is coming, where the conceptual starting point of designers is often born in the digital space, taking advantage of the augmented representation skills to control and manipulate form. We will also do an overview of these new architec…
The Digital change. Reasons and meanings of a new architectural expressivity
2014
The entry of computing in architectural has produced a real revolution in architectural scenario, changing the designer's arsenals and producing new expressive trends. However, up to now it is unclear how designers have actually taken advantage of the use of software to develop new styles, it is unclear what is the relationship between programs, operations and tools provided by them, and the formal configuration of new architecture. Moreover, the only element to identify digital influence on design seems to be only what designers or critics say-so. Then, the goal of the research was to actually identify these digital influences on architectural designs by developing a framework for identify…
The evolution of the digital curve: from shipbuilding spline to the diffusion of NURBS, subdivision surface and t-splines as tools for architectural …
2020
In this article, we will follow the history of splines, digital methods that have characterized the architectural design process since the last decade of the twentieth century. We will describe their evolutions since the beginning as analogical tools for boat construction in the eighteenth century, to its passage to digital within the automotive industry. Then the relationship with the aerospace industry, and the evolution which from digital animation, have led nurbs, subdivision surfaces and t-splines to become everyday computational tools within architecture workflow. Recent developments on t-splines, following their acquisition by Autodesk, will lead us to a reflection on the relationshi…
Digital expressionism: the architecture of complex shapes: multi-case analysis, classification and interpretation
2013
The research presented is about digital revolution in architecture, due to the entry of computing in a design development, which has contributed to the birth of a new figurative trend, we can call Digital Expressionism. The work was conducted through the definition of a framework to identify and classify architectural design elements that should be attributed to the methods and techniques of design computing, then applied to sixty prominent recent buildings which are acknowledged products of digital means. The early results suggest that a new era is coming, where the conceptual starting point of designers is often born in the digital space, taking advantage of the augmented representation s…
Architects as tool consumers: discovering trends in software and programming languages for Architecture with Google Trends
2019
Architect professional figure and skills have undergone innumerable evolutions throughout human history, and although the architect's task is always substantially to design buildings and spaces, the use of digital tools has undoubtedly marked the greatest change in architectural design since the Renaissance, if not since the time of Vitruvius (Sacchi 2018). However, when we talk about the relationship between architecture and digital tools, we immediately think about projects of some contemporary architects and researches of some important academics come to mind. Digital tools are now everywhere within the fragmented world of architecture: from multinationals firm with offices in the major …
