Digital Construction in Architecture

This research analyses how digital construction tools—particularly 3D modelling and BIM methodologies—contribute to the study, documentation, and dissemination of architectural knowledge. Focusing on the tectonics of Álvaro Siza's work, it addresses two key projects—the Galician Centre for Contemporary Art and the Iberê Camargo Foundation—to examine their material and constructive contrasts. Using a methodology that combines bibliographic review, fieldwork, expert consultation, drawing, and digital modelling in Autodesk Revit, a rigorous framework is established for understanding the material, structural, and spatial coherence in Siza's architecture.
