Presentation

This conference aims to understand the impact of Alberti’s treatise on classical and modern architecture using either intelligent computational environment or cultural approaches related to theoretical or philosophical methodologies. Directly or indirectly Alberti’s ideas and attitude crossed the last five centuries transforming the architectural theory and practice. The question now is how and where. This conference pretends to follow some of this legacy throughout the most recent research, the most recent methodologies and the most unsuspected actors.

Digital Alberti International Conference will be held in Coimbra in parallel with the 2nd International Congress “The foundations of modern rationalities: around Alberti and hmanism” and the exhibition “Digital Alberti: Tradition and innovation in the architectural theory and practice in Portugal” that presents the results of the research project with the same title.
