A PROCEDURE TO IMPORT A COMPLEX GEOMETRY MODEL OF A HERITAGE BUILDING INTO BIM FOR ADVANCED ARCHITECTURAL REPRESENTATIONS

Abstract. The aim of this communication is to present the advantages and disadvantages of a Scan-to-BIM process applied to a heritage building in order to obtain advanced technical drawings to be used in the analysis and illustration of the project. The whole process described includes: the survey planification and data acquisition with a Terrestrial Laser Scanner; the processing and cleaning of the point cloud; the 3D mathematical modelling; a proposal for semi-automatic modelling of organic elements; and the import of the final model into a BIM environment. Rhinoceros (McNeel) and Revit (Autodesk) are the main programs used. The crucial aspect of this workflow is found at the moment of importing the geometrical model into Revit, having to accommodate the criteria of this program in terms of tolerances, geometric structure of the solids, incompatibilities with NURBS libraries, etc. The result is a BIM model divided into families and subcategories where visual attributes can be assigned per element, parameterized and other visual information can be added (orthophotographs, wireframe analysis drawings, etc.). In other words, a 3D model from which highly configurable advanced representations (plans, vertical sections, perspectives, isometric exploded view, etc.) can be obtained and with which to generate analyses from the field of Architectural Graphic Expression.

Influence of Learning Objects of Graphics Architecture on Motivation

The proactive role of university students demands that teaching staff engage in attempts at motivating students to make greater efforts at building knowledge by providing them with resources that facilitate learning. This paper provides details of a study that has involved designing and building Learning Objects (LOs) for Architectural Graphic Expression and inserting them into a university degree as a teaching aid to study their influence on student motivation. Findings show that the use of LOs in Architectural Graphic Expression produces significant improvement in students’ intrinsic goal orientation, which is fundamental to the development of deeper learning.

Tesela a tesela: un proyecto docente de representación arquitectónica en una escuela de ingeniería

<p>En el marco de la enseñanza artística, impartida por profesores del área de Expresión Gráfica Arquitectónica, en el Grado de Diseño Industrial de la Universidad de Valladolid, se llevó a cabo, durante el curso 2017-2018, un Proyecto de Innovación Docente. Realizado en colaboración con el Museo de Valladolid, el objetivo del mismo era el estudio y reinterpretación de uno de los mosaicos allí expuestos, el de Diana y las estaciones procedente de la Villa romana de Prado, para, posteriormente, proceder a su reproducción física a gran escala, y su exhibición en otro lugar del Museo. Así, los alumnos pudieron familiarizarse con las técnicas de ejecución de los mosaicos, así como participar en un proyecto colectivo de arte, con su consiguiente aplicación práctica en una institución museística.</p>

Graphic Imprints. The influence of representation and ideation tools in architecture

Resultado del diecisieteavo Congreso bianual Internacional de Expresión Gráfica Arquitectónica (EGA 2018) -que se celebró en Alicante los días 30, 31 de Mayo y 1 de Junio de 2018- este libro se evidencia como una extraordinaria y excelente compilación de variados textos científicos sobre la arquitectura y el dibujo.

Algunas arquitecturas de la A a la Z

This article is not about typography as such. The alphabets selected even violate some dictats governing design in this field. We have extracted some plays on forms designed using the combination of letters and architectural forms. The fonts used in this article could even be considered arbitrary, eccentric, individualistic, free, and in some extreme cases as "typographic jokes", but we prefer to look at values derived from the architectural graphic expression. The final products can be considered as integrated into the architectural graphic expression.

EL DIBUJO DE LA INDETERMINACIÓN. PROGRAMA, ACONTECIMIENTO Y TIEMPO EN CEDRIC PRICE Y REM KOOLHAAS

This communication is part of a wider investigation in the context of my Phd, supplemented by a series of interviews with Peter Cook, Rem Koolhaas and Bernard Tschumi. It is also a continuation and development of the communication entitled “The drawing of Uncertainty: notations, diagrams, maps and 2.0” presented at the XIII International Congress of Architectural Graphic Expression in Valencia in 2010. This study shows for various reasons, first, specific investigations in the field of architectural drawings are rare in this area, second is the need to re-write this concept in light of the present moment to open and build a line of Research on architecture design.

NOTICIAS SOBRE EL MANUSCRITO ANÓNIMO “ARTES EXCELENÇIAS DE LA PERSPECTIBA”: BREVE CRÓNICA DE UNA PUBLICACIÓN

Recently, an edition of a manuscript on perspective has been published. It is both a curious and unexplained work, which provides new elements for the knowledge of our scientific and artistic history. But if such a publication always means a remarkable event and, consequently, a reason for scholars to rejoice, it is even more due to the fact that both its edition and final study could be connected, to a great extent, with the Architectural Graphic Expression. Something that increases its value is the fact that the manuscript has been, long since, swirling around specialized publications, sometimes without presenting its true content. The Artes excelencias de la perspectiva” is preserved at the Fundacion Casa de Medina Sidonia in Sanlucar de Barrameda, Cadiz, which also commissioned the facsimile edition to the Consejeria de Cultura of Murcia. With colophon in June 2010, and distributed the following year, this edition was published in two volumes, and comprises the studies and transcriptions by three authors who will be quoted from now on: Andres Martin Pastor, Domingo Beltran Corbalan, and Francisco Reyes Marsilla de Pascual 1. Thus, it seems necessary to present a short chronicle of the vicissitudes of this peculiar work, to give a full insight into historic Spanish perspective experiences –nowadays underrated– together with the not always simple ways of approaching them.

INVENCIÓN ARQUITECTÓNICA, EGA Y LOS “PAISAJES INTERIORES”. ARTE, PEDAGOGÍA POÉTICA Y ARQUITECTURA

From a standpoint focused on the teaching of Architectural Graphic Expression, an attempt is made to reflect on the meaning of Poetic Pedagogy in architecture as art, and relate it to the painter Esteban Vicente’s “interior landscapes”, an expression referring to the creation of art by assimilating reality and recreating it internally. The artist’s invention and freedom during the creative process is the basis for the Poetic Pedagogy which teaches, as do the “interior landscapes”, how to interpret reality from a creative, innovative, paradoxical and specifically free perspective, which is the essence of art.
