Abstract:<\/strong> In last decades, different approaches on nature-based design have been emerging, such as bionics, biomimetics, bioinspiration, biodesign, biodigital architecture, biophilia, among many others. Iouguina, et al. (2014) propose the idea of bioinformed disciplines, this proposal groups all those disciplines that use references from nature to solve human problems through design, with results sustainable or not sustainable. Nowadays, the possibilities of bioinformed design are enhanced and amplified, mainly due to the accelerated development of digital technologies, new materials, AI(artificial intelligence), IOT(the Internet Of Things), Big Data, parametric-generative-evolutionary design, digital fabrication technologies, and other advances; In addition to that, other approaches appear with a systemic and sustainable vision, in order to improve the quality of life of human beings in a smart balance between all species and the ecosystem. In the context of SIGraDi 2021 Designing Possibilities International Conference, the panel \u201cDialogues between nature, design and technology\u201d is proposed, an open space to debate about bioinformed design and architecture, in which different theoretical perspectives, practical and technological experiences can converge, as well as prospective visions. It\u2019s expected to discuss how nature can be a reference for product design, systems design, architecture, urbanism and ecosystems, from a transdisciplinary and sustainable vision. This dialogue can open future possibilities for a collaborative and balanced coexistence among all species, breaking the current paradigm named Anthropocene, an era dominated by human beings to the detriment of the planet’s ecosystem. Around these scenarios and approaches appear some questions that can guide the discussion, questions such as: What role does bioinformed design play in solving relevant human problems? What is the role of emerging technologies to materialize bioinformed design proposals? What are the new paradigms posed by bioinformed design? Can we move from imitating material systems in nature to emulating behaviors based on nature? Is it feasible to conceive a collaborative design between different species? Is it possible to drive a transition from design for human to design for the ecosystem? Is it feasible to design an integrated natural-artificial ecosystem in a balanced coexistence between all species? Can the human being co-evolve in collaboration with other species? among many other questions.<\/span><\/p>\nLanguage | <\/b>Spanish\/English<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.10.4″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb collapsed=\u00bboff\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.10.4″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text admin_label=\u00bbmoderator\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.10.4″ _module_preset=\u00bb25e324e9-b094-476e-95e0-23968ff5793a\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]<\/p>\n

His research focuses on RURALISM and RURAL ARCHITECTURE. He is thoroughly examining responsive systems and disruptive approaches to re-valorize the rural economy. He introduces RURALISM not in opposition to URBANISM, but rather an equivalent field that he believes is worthy of consideration and that is often overlooked in our architectural discourse.<\/span>
Arja is also working to advance earth architecture and ceramic production via additive manufacturing technology in rural communities and contexts. Currently, he is leading efforts to adopt the technology of additive manufacturing in Sub-Saharan Africa with a long-term goal of producing sustainable housing solutions and rural micro-infrastructures.<\/span>
As a passionate young architect and educator, Arja sees architecture as a powerful statement to connect and communicate. With a conscious and deliberate intent to instrumentalize architecture to help transform local communities, the courses he teaches confront students with questions of how architecture, technology, and innovation can offer solutions to some of the world\u2019s most pressing issues, i.e., poverty, epidemics, environmental degradation, and civil unrest. As a proponent of interdisciplinary research, teaching, and experience, He offers his students the opportunity to work in new places, ecologies, and perhaps new approaches.<\/span>
Before coming to Georgia Tech, Arja has taught at the University of California Berkeley and University of Oregon. He has won numerous awards for his scholarly and creative works, including the Design for Spatial Justice Fellowship at the University of Oregon, John K. Branner Traveling Fellowship, and the MasterCard Foundation Scholarship at UC Berkeley, Rondine Cittadella della Pace Fellowship – Italy, and the Fulbright Scholarship.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_team_member][et_pb_team_member name=\u00bbTristan Al-Haddad\u00bb position=\u00bbLecturer at the School of Architecture, College of Design Georgia Institute of Technology\u00bb image_url=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.sigradi.org\/sigradi2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Tristan-Al-haddad.jpg\u00bb admin_label=\u00bbTristan Al-Haddad\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.10.4″ _module_preset=\u00bb477b0883-38db-4786-b4c3-a13ed51ba39b\u00bb width=\u00bb100%\u00bb custom_css_member_image=\u00bb|| max-width: 20%;|| height: auto;\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]<\/p>\n

Abstract:<\/strong> The teaching of Electronic Art began in Brazil in the mid-1980s, when several Art, Design and Communication educational institutions incorporated disciplines that explored its immense potential for society. In the absence of established standards or norms for teaching in these areas, it was the pioneer educators themselves – most of them also artists – who created Electronic Art curricula, programs, assignments, and evaluation criteria, and laid the foundation for this new field of knowledge. In this panel, a group of Brazilian electronic artists – who have taught in Art and Design programs since the 1980s – will present their pioneering experiences. Panelists will discuss the origins of their methods and practices, the challenges they have faced and their pioneering contribution, revealing the historical legacy of this effervescent and seminal moment of Electronic Art in Brazil.<\/span><\/p>\nLanguage | Portuguese<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.10.4″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb collapsed=\u00bboff\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.10.4″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text admin_label=\u00bbmoderator\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.10.4″ _module_preset=\u00bb25e324e9-b094-476e-95e0-23968ff5793a\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]<\/p>\n

Tania Fraga is an artist, architect, and designer. In her work, she creates sensitive and poetic three-dimensional domains presented as virtual and material realities. They result from the integration between art, science and technology showing glimpses of their relationship with numbers. Therefore, it explains their dynamic harmonies, their implicit relationships, their infinite variations, their topological weaving, their becoming, for they are sensitive expressions of a sublime and transcendental universe of dreams expressed through mathematical correlations.

Abstract:<\/strong> The material execution of architecture defines the quality of the spaces, as well as its energy consumption, its social value, and its economic cost. The construction expresses a technological capacity and esthetic, as well as a cultural organization that elaborates certain types of buildings, which preserve social domains and environmental impacts. In this sense, the new digital techniques constitute opportunities to ensure processes, or on the contrary to promote transformations. This panel has invited four experts to comment on their experiences and perspectives in this debate, to show concrete examples and necessary visions in academic and professional fields to apply technologies in an assertive and diverse way. Picking up the tension between the optimization of processes that the industry seeks and the minimization of resources that the environmental and social crisis forces, with the technological deployment and formal exploration. The argument that technologies are only tools, or a passing enthusiasm has been overtaken by the possibilities generated and the great social changes produced; but we also know that technology is sometimes just a translation of conventional designs. What we have seen with BIM modeling, which adds more constructive elaboration, but weak the architectural appealing, or with digital manufacturing machines that repeat manual tasks and made complex shapes just for exhibits, while we need new architectural solutions to face climate change and the social inequality. Wood proposes to be the material of the future, but its execution still suffers from constructive deficiencies and little use. Robotics involves expensive equipment to make convoluted appliances, and digital fabrication seems to focus on cutting decorative pieces. The new resources must go through a period of implementation and experimentation, but also move towards feasible and relevant proposals. The construction industry is coming under pressure to use integrated BIM modeling, but many conventional tasks remain, and digital information is not suited to control machines. Sustainable building implies new components and connections that are not known to the designers and executors. Universitary education cannot cope with more technologies that are presented in an intuitive and partial way, and professionals lack the time and motivation to incorporate them. In addition, the vast majority of technologies come from Anglo-Saxon countries with higher economic levels and profound cultural differences that aggravates the extractivist flow, while the application of new media is carried out with a relevant mix of local knowledge. The organization of SIGRADI as a Latin American community tries to compensate for this inequality and promote an integrating relationship of capacities, opening opportunities for discussion and collaboration.<\/span><\/p>\nLanguage | Spanish<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.10.4″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb collapsed=\u00bboff\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.10.4″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_text admin_label=\u00bbmoderator\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.10.4″ _module_preset=\u00bb25e324e9-b094-476e-95e0-23968ff5793a\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]<\/p>\n

Mariela Reyes is an architect and maker who specializes in establishing workflows that integrate digital fabrication and traditional making within the architectural process. Having qualified as an architect in the University Mayor in Chile, she worked at I.M.Pei in New York. Having developed an interest in making and materials, she studied her masters in the Design & Make program developed by the Architectural Association in the UK. This allowed her to develop her knowledge of making through the construction of a complex timber frame building utilizing a robotic arm. Following this she undertook a course in fine furniture making at the Lyme Regis Boat Building School in order to develop her knowledge of traditional fine woodworking. By combining a wide set of skills and knowledge varying from applied robotics to carpentry Mariela focuses on the development of material led projects. Using both teaching and research to develop new methods of working within the architectural career. She now leads the MAD|lab at the Universidad Autonoma de Chile, an experimental fabrication lab that aims to innovate new fabrication methods by combining modern construction technologies with traditional techniques. Her current research focuses on the use of scanning and robotics to facilitate the processing of waste and low-cost timbers into architectural and design components.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_team_member][et_pb_team_member name=\u00bbDr. Danny Lobos \u00bb position=\u00bbDirector Master BIM AEC Universidad Tecnologica Metropolitana de Chile, UITEM, Chile\u00bb image_url=\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.sigradi.org\/sigradi2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/danny-lobos.jpg\u00bb admin_label=\u00bbDr. Danny Lobos \u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.10.4″ _module_preset=\u00bb477b0883-38db-4786-b4c3-a13ed51ba39b\u00bb width=\u00bb100%\u00bb custom_css_member_image=\u00bb|| max-width: 20%;|| height: auto;\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb]<\/p>\n
