Investigación aplicada al ámbito de la expresión gráfica arquitectónica por medios digitales. Marco de referencia y hoja de ruta by Ernest Redondo

“…Esta propuesta de análisis del estado de la cuestión de la investigación TIC-AEC, parte de nuestra experiencia en la ETSAB-UPC, la cual tras incorporar las mismas de forma natural, ha ido evolucionado desde la expresión gráfica primigenia con sus diversas disciplinas clásicas, hacia un modelo más transversal del Digital-Urban Sketching, BIM+GIS, el Diseño Paramétrico, la Modelización virtual y Simulación visual en tiempo real. El nuevo horizonte es aproximarnos a la simulación del funcionamiento de la ciudad y los edificios, merced al trabajo multidisciplinar en colaboración con otros ámbitos como la Tecnología arquitectónica, los de la Ingeniería civil, la Geomática, el Urbanismo, los Proyectos arquitectónicos, en entornos virtuales e interactivos de BIMxD+BigData+Digital Twin.…”
