A contemporary approach to the graphic representation of the urban experience
(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2023-10-31) Vicente Gilabert, Cristina; López Sánchez, Marina; Linares Gómez del Pulgar, Mercedes; Agencia Estatal de Investigación; Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación
[EN] In the complex field of urban phenomenon analysis and representation, this text addresses the evolution of works specifically dedicated to investigating the relationships established between individuals and the city. It focuses its attention on one of the less studied aspects: the cartographic representation of subjective, emotional, and perceptual aspects related to the experience of navigating and inhabiting an urban space. The city cannot be considered as a neutral or objective space; on the contrary, there will always be an imaginary construct that shapes and accompanies it. This imaginary construct, which determines our way of perceiving, being, and moving within the city, is fundamental for a comprehensive understanding of urban processes and dynamics. Approaching this dialectical relationship between the physical and subjective dimensions of the city, which is intangible in itself, through analysis and graphic representation is now possible thanks to theoretical and, above all, technological advancements. The objective of this text is to contextualize this process by presenting two frames of reference: one conceptual, linked to the evolution of the term landscape, and another methodological, focused on presenting the technical advancements that have been decisive in the evolution of this type of representation. We take a journey through cartographic experiences initiated in the 1960s and arrive at some of the most innovative research lines in this field, such as Biomapping, real-time cartographies, or intelligent cartographies. The aim of the article is to reinforce and emphasize the utility of graphic expression as a tool for urban and territorial decision-making, highlighting its capacity to represent even the most sensitive and complex data. Through a panoramic view of the advancements achieved in recent decades regarding these types of cartographies, it illustrates the interesting convergence that can be delineated today between the traditionally connected areas of graphic expression in Architecture and Urbanism and the new scenarios of data management and analysis.
Architectural Graphic Expression Bibliography 2017-2022
(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2023-10-31) Bernal López-Sanvicente, Amparo
[EN] The objective of this bibliographic review of Architectural Graphic Expression (EGA) in the six-year period 2017-2022 is to offer an informative account of its referential theoretical framework, current lines of research and the knowledge transfer from this area of the Spanish university to society. The scientific production by EGA professors in Spain is disseminated through articles in scientific journals and other means of sharing knowledge such as books, congresses, exhibitions and other dissemination activities. Of these references, the books for this bibliographic review have been selected. The monographs and collective publications are the last phase in the communication of the results of a research project. They have a broad and summarised content but accessing it to that knowledge is complex since because many books do not have open digital editions and, therefore, are not indexed by title or keywords like other scientific publications. This text offers the keys to create an updated library where the thematic diversity of EGA is represented, which, since its constitution in 1984, includes history and theory of Shape Analysis, Descriptive Geometry, Architectural Drawing, and the application of its graphic procedures to multidisciplinary heritage research.
Architectural drawing. Language of thought and construction. Past, present and future
(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2023-10-31) Raposo Grau, Javier Fco.; Paredes Maldonado, Miguel
[EN] Drawing has been an inseparable part of the creative discourse within architectural projects, both in its formative and professional aspects. This article aims to provide a reflection on the discipline of drawing from both its formative and professional perspectives, while assessing a landscape of graphic language transformation that remains in constant evolution, particularly since the late twentieth century, driven by the latest digital transformations and implementations. At present, we find ourselves amidst significant changes related to the adoption of resources stemming from this digital transformation, which are progressing towards deeper transformations through the latest developments in artificial intelligence. The architect s work is a fusion of art and technique, fostering a dialogue between artistic creation and technical construction. Modern tools enable a more organized and precise production of architecture, bridging it with contemporary times and the evolving demands of society. Contemporary approaches, along with technological and methodological implementations within the field of architecture, immerse us in both analog and digital processes from creative and constructive perspectives. From this viewpoint, we can assert that our drawings are intelligent models that do not constrain the capabilities of the architect.
Research applied to the field of architectural graphic expression through digital means. Reference framework and roadmap
(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2023-10-31) Redondo, Ernest
[EN] The range of Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) that can be integrated into architectural design, and on which our applied research can focus, has expanded greatly in just 15 years, with new technologies. For all this, we face new challenges such as the integration of BIM, Big Data, Virtual Reality (VR), Collaborative Design, even Artificial Intelligence (AI). In this context we demand the exploration of border territories between architectural and ICT disciplines to broaden horizons. This proposal for analyzing the state of the art of ICT-AEC research, is based on our experience at the ETSAB-UPC, which after incorporating them naturally, has evolved from the original graphic expression with its various classic disciplines, towards a more transversal model of Digital-Urban Sketching, BIM+GIS, Parametric Design, Virtual Modeling and Visual Simulation in real time. The new horizon is to approach the simulation of the functioning of the city and buildings, thanks to multidisciplinary work in collaboration with other areas such as Architectural Technology, Civil Engineering, Geomatics, Urban Planning, Architectural Projects, in virtual environments. and interactive BIMxD+BigData+Digital Twin.
Graphic Reconstitution and urban shape: Rediscovering Old Towns
(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2023-10-31) Carazo, Eduardo; Moral, Álvaro
[EN] The Old Towns of our cities are the origin of contemporary cities. The study of their evolution has been related to the comparative graphic analysis of the various moments or stages of their shaping in time and space. This research, which in some cases proposes the idea of graphic reconstitution of the urban shape, is being independently developed in various research centers across Europe in an attempt to recover, from the graphic, the idea of lost heritage, as a contribution to the citizens right to know the legacy of their ancestors and value it. Far from an isolated fact, the revaluation of urban heritage or even historical urban landscape, was highlighted by the European Union at the 2005 Framework Convention in Faro (Portugal), pointing out the importance of the contribution of the cultural heritage to society and human development. This work aims to justify the reasons why these objects of research are truly relevant to contemporary society.
