Digital Thinking in Architecture, Civil Engineering, Archaeology, Urban
Planning and Design : /Finding the Ways/
New digital cultures bring inevitable changes to our world and to the
techniques, research methods and practices of design. The computer
technology transforms slowly but surely the professions of environmental
planning, architecture, archaeology and design. In recent years, we
witness the emergence of digital methods using computer not only for
facilitating technical tasks, but also to analyse project's performance
or amplify the creative thinking of designers. Educating the future
professionals has become a real challenge due to the clash between fast
developing technology and slower evolving new design thinking and values
redefinition. Confronting multi-disciplinary theoretical, teaching and
practice experiences at the Europia11, will help finding the ways to the
future of design.
