Revisiting Eladio Dieste’s Walls Through Digital Design and Simulation Technologies: A Case on Atlántida Church

A groundbreaking study leverages digital design and simulation technologies to redefine the potential of brick, one of humanity's oldest materials, in modern architecture. Focusing on Eladio Dieste’s innovative structure at Atlántida Churchthe research demonstrates how computational methods can unlock new understandings of masonry, particularly in complex surface formation. By integrating digital tools with traditional brickwork, the study reveals novel tectonic possibilities that challenge conventional architectural paradigms. This approach not only preserves Dieste’s legacy but also offers a scalable model for future designs, bridging historical techniques with cutting-edge technology.
