Born from a personal effort of three professionals (Roberto Di Maio and Vittorio Boemio, I applaud all those who have proactively contributed to the initiative.
Episode 0 introduced a lot of innovation especially in the communication and, personally, I am happy to have been among the first to introduce the computational approach to architecture and product design to the Thematic Commission (APPC Order of Naples and Province) – we started with the terminological adequacy as well as the meaning.
the works continue … (some slides below)
Briefly
Information seminar reserved for members of the Order for the dissemination of BIM culture in the AEC environment
The initiative was born with the intention of starting a cycle of appointments in which increasingly complex topics can be addressed, starting from introductory themes, to encourage professional updating in the Digital Age.
In the Episode (zero), lasting 2 hours, it will range from issues of digital culture to those relating to current legislation and, through the description of the new professional figures that are emerging in the contemporary working context, an overall overview of the state will be provided. of the art of technology in the AEC / software field.
The seminar will be delivered in streaming mode and with short interactive surveys.
2 CFPs will be issued for Architects who will participate in the BIM Talk Episode 0 event

From Renaissance Wisdom to Digital Revolution: Why Brunelleschi Would Love BIM
Did you know that an Italian architect first coined the concept of “parametric architecture” in 1957? While I was involved at the Apple Academy in San Giovanni a Teduccio (tech design collaboration as a PhD student eager to show his computational BIM approach), I’ve been reflecting on how our architectural ancestors were already practicing computational thinking centuries ago!
The Brunelleschian Paradigm Lives On
While Alberti focused on documentation (sound familiar, BIM users?), Brunelleschi embraced the power of models throughout the construction process. He created his tools BEFORE starting his designs – just like today’s computational designers who craft custom algorithms before modeling.
This isn’t just theoretical – I’ve seen firsthand how computational approaches transformed spaces at the Apple Academy, where parametric environmental design allowed us to optimize everything from spatial layouts to the gradient color transitions in the Main Classroom.
Why Your Firm Needs Computational Design + BIM:
- Generate multiple design options within your project constraints
- Free yourself from computation to focus on creativity
- Reduce costs while improving project timelines
- Create performance-based designs that truly serve human needs
As architects in the digital era, we’ve elevated our role from the tangible to the virtual plane. Our discipline has the spiritual obligation to lead this paradigm shift, continuing to interpret human space and the built environment.
