The Conference aims to provide the most updated and advanced tools and procedures for architectural planning, surveying, design and for their visualization, i.e. for the dissemination of the project, architecture and cultural heritage. The Conference also intends to constitute itself as a privileged observatory on the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in architectural and sustainable design by examining both the technical aspects and the new procedures envisaged by the ongoing regulations regarding this new philosophy of organization of project representation . In one part the conference focuses attention on three-dimensional modeling, the management of images (static and dynamic) with visual effects in post production and representation through the use of 3D printers: procedures that allow effective visualization and understanding of the processes planning and/or recovery of the building heritage.

In the other part the Conference deals with B.I.M. (Building Information Modeling), seen as a logical and informative resource, which places the designer at the center of the construction process, on a small, medium and large scale. In recent years, in fact, the project, from the idea to the testing, has been broken up into a myriad of sectors often managed by different professionals, with inevitable coordination problems that affect the disconnected design procedures, whose decisions fall, from time to time, on the key issues of the proposal, slowing down the process and significantly increasing the costs.

Topics of the Workshop are: Digitalization and data acquisition, Digital Twin, Photogrammetry & image-based modeling, 3D scanning & digitization (laser, structured light, motion capture, etc.), Computer Graphics, 3D modeling (CAD-based and reality-based ), Real + virtual worlds (mixed/augmented reality), AI, Machine Learning, Virtualization of other senses (touch, taste, smell, sound).

The Workshop is organised, for the scientific coordination part, by BIM FADU (Facultad de Arquitectura, Diseño y Urbanismo) and by the Department of History, Representation and Restoration of Architecture of  Sapienza University of Rome.

The official languages of the conference are Spanish, Italian, and English.
