Embodied Impacts in Buildings: A Systematic Review of Life Cycle Gaps and Sectoral Integration Strategies Open
The growing focus on operational energy efficiency in the building sector has revealed a critical gap in addressing embodied impacts—carbon emissions and energy demands associated with the production, construction, use, and end-of-life sta…

The Conceptual Model Mediated by IVR and 3DP as a First Architectural Idea Generator Open
The first ideas generation of the architectural project has traditionally been carried out through sketches. Even though in recent decades models have also gained importance, their use is still restricted due to the time required to make t…

Characterization of conception drawing in architecture to face technological mediations Open
The conception drawing in architecture is that allows to initiate the architectural thinking, visualizing, and discovering the first ideas. This drawing has traditionally been given as an act of linking and collaboration between thought, s…

Fixed-Wing UAV Flight Operation under Harsh Weather Conditions: A Case Study in Livingston Island Glaciers, Antarctica Open
How do the weather conditions typical of the polar maritime glaciers in the western Antarctic Peninsula region affect flight operations of fixed-wing drones and how should these be adapted for a successful flight? We tried to answer this r…

Dibujando el espacio: modelos de aprendizaje colaborativo para alumnos y profesores Open
The return to face-to-face teaching has served to value those social dynamics that foster a climate of collaborative learning within the classroom. We defined collaborative learning as a set of activities that transcend the practice of wor…

Energy and comfort. The historical evolution of the façade in Western Architecture Open
The envelope is considered to be the boundary between the outside and the inside of a building. The aim of this study is to analyze both the process that led the concept of the façade to evolve in Western architecture and the repercussions…

Aprendiendo a dibujar confinados: un método, dos entornos Open
In our experience, the practice of drawing enables the creative process that triggers the design process. The hybrid character of architectural drawing contributes particularly to this experimentation that encourages self-reflective proces…

Polyhedral communication in architecture Open
There are multiple communicative strategies in architecture depending on the target audience. The mechanisms of representation may radically vary when the recipient is the client, the constructor, the curator, a colleague or even an instru…

Generalization of the pedal concept in bidimensional spaces. Application to the limaçon of Pascal Open
The concept of a pedal curve is used in geometry as a generation method for a multitude of curves. The definition of a pedal curve is linked to the concept of minimal distance. However, an interesting distinction can be made for ℝ2. In thi…

Practical Theorization vs Architectural Practice in OMA /AMO Open
In the last years, there has been a disengagement between practicing architects and scholarship profiles. At present, there is a clear divergence between theory and practice in architecture. Theorization has been confined in Universities a…
