Presentation in the Digital Darq event. Showcase of personal research on cork stereotomies.
Architecture project by Pedro de Azambuja Varela, Maria João de Oliveira and Emmanuel Novo. Following the 2012/13 edition of the Advanced Program in Digital Architecture (CEAAD), promoted by FAUP and ISCTE-IUL, the company AMORIM Isolamentos challenged the Course to design their Pavilion for the CONCRETA 2013 Fair. The students that developed their final research on cork […]
A renewed interest in stereotomy, narrowly entwined with digital technologies, has allowed for the recovery and proposal of new techniques and expressions in this building approach. A new classification scheme for stereotomy research allows for the framing of various aspects related to this discipline, including a newly developed fabrication system specially tailored for the wedge-shaped […]
This is the video stream of short talk I gave in Vienna. The talk was about an experience developed at the DFL with José Pedro Sousa, about the possible digital flow in architecture projects that deal with stone heritage. Original video stream here: https://mh-engage.ltcc.tuwien.ac.at/engage/ui/watch.html?id=b1661030-702d-11e5-a8be-2fc2b39fc1bd
Intensive course with the purpose of teaching the BIM approach through the software ArchiCAD. The students were not acquainted with the software and should end the 16 hour programmr with capabilities of building a BIM model with informed components, such as slabs, walls and windows, with a printable layout. This course was taught at Espaço2D […]
In June 2020 I defended my PhD thesis entitled “Reconstruction of a Stereotomy – for a multi-semantic stereotomic approach”. The PDF document has Open Access and can be download in Universidade do Porto website here. https://sigarra.up.pt/faup/pt/NOTICIAS_GERAL.VER_NOTICIA?p_nr=69842 Abstract: Stereotomy is the classic body of knowledge which deals with stonecutting for building arch like structures. The interest […]

Assistance in 3D modelling and fabrication. The intersection of technological development with sustainability has reached complex times that postulate a wider scope in conceptual and practical terms. Imagining and producing sustainable technologies lies now on the ability of technical and social domains to merge their own concerns and solutions with no bias. Our collective futures […]
Final thesis of the Architecture course at Faculdade de Arquitectura da Universidade do Porto.
The School of Architecture of Aarhus organizes the HARD CO(u)R(s)E DIGITAL, a set of workshops focused in digital technologies in a pre-holiday format. The key factors in the CorkVault workshop were the use of ICB (Insulation Cork Board), a 5-axis waterjet cutter and Kangaroo along with Grasshopper, so that a full-scale pavillion could be built. […]
Poster presented in the Nexus 2012 – Relationships Between Architecture and Mathematics. This presentation was about the relation of a complex geometry with constructive constraints.
