Architecture Classics: Modern Housing on the American Continent 1930-1960

Much of the production of modern architecture on the American continent was based on the model of European architects who, with their works, projected the fundamental premises and ideas for modern living. These pillars of architecture were transferred and consequently adapted to the American territory, introducing, at the same time, their own characteristics according to the territorial, socio-cultural and economic context. 

We understand that good architecture is that which serves as a model for solving problems inherent to the discipline of architecture in general. This is why certain references that we consider today as "classics" are examples of good architectural practices that have been appropriated by other architects, taking the pertinent and necessary elements to achieve a result in accordance with the particular context.

The Future of AI Rendering: Boost Efficiency and Cut Costs with the Right Tool

The creation of images through artificial intelligence (AI) surprised us a few years ago. Utilizing algorithms such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs), these systems are trained to identify visual patterns in images from the huge database of the internet, interpret them, and generate new compositions. Initially, the results tended to be rudimentary, often distorted and strange, but with the evolution of systems and training methods, AI has started to produce highly detailed and visually impressive images, challenging the limits of digital creativity. In architecture, this has been no different. As architectural design evolves, technologies that allow architects to bring their visions to life are progressing alongside it. AI renderings are transforming the way we visualize and conceptualize spaces, with the potential to significantly reduce costs, increase efficiency, and improve accuracy, especially in terms of scale fidelity and spatial representation.
