Vol. 17 No. 24 (2024): DIGITAL ARCHITECTURE: EXPLORING THE SYNTHESIS BETWEEN TECHNOLOGY, DESIGN, AND MATERIALIZATION

This issue focuses on "Digital Architecture: Exploring the Synthesis between Technology, Design, and Materialization," which centers on how digital and technological innovations are redefining architectural processes, from design conception to construction and materialization. This emerging field merges digital tools with traditional architectural methods to enhance the functionality, aesthetics, and sustainability of built spaces. The main topics for this specific issue are as follows:

1. Generative Design: Use of algorithms to create unique and efficient architectural designs, focusing on the capacity of generative systems to influence the aesthetics and functionality of architecture.
2. Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR): Integration of these technologies into architectural design to improve visualization, design, and spatial experience, examining how they change the perception of spaces.
3. Digital Fabrication and Robotic Construction: Application of automation and robotics in construction to increase efficiency and precision, as well as to discuss the ethical and sustainable implications.
4. Data Science and Architecture: Research on how large data analysis and artificial intelligence can optimize architectural design and building functionality.
5. BIM (Building Information Modeling): Exploration of advancements in BIM for project management in construction, highlighting its impact on collaboration, sustainability, and project efficiency.
