The virtual architecture is one that exists in the digital plane and is not affected by the time factor. The constructions are developed in a digital support. Nor is it affected by gravity or by climatic or geological phenomena and is spared the imagination of the architect.

The objects and spaces that are part of the virtual architecture are manipulated, visualized and constructed in 3 dimensions with an architectural purpose. The virtual has its own rules and notions. The three-dimensional is what generates the movement from the same image.

Virtual constructions allow scale modifications. You can even work on two different scales simultaneously. It is possible to move inside or outside the building. It can be transported through different regions in cyberspace.

You can modify the characteristics of the enclosures, such as color, texture and flexibility. You can perform several tests such as opening and closing doors, turning the light on or off, an internal sound, such as the telephone ringing, can be located.


Virtual architecture also allows us to visualize restored works that have been damaged by weather or wind erosion. In addition, we can observe designs that can be built in the future. The virtual architecture is constantly growing, with new applications and tools.

Wojciech Odrobina - Virtual Architecture

Wojciech Odrobina tells us how an architect thinks in this blog, which highlights the most common characteristics of architects.

How does an architect think? We have once talked about the creativity of the architect as a crucial quality in our activity.

Wojciech Odrobina comments that the profession of Architecture is a mix of diverse mental skills that is difficult to put together.

So this time we are going to reflect on the mental functioning of the architect and, above all, what we can offer as a group and as individuals.

But why is this important?

Wojciech Odrobina comments that self-knowledge always is.

It helps you understand your strengths and work on your areas for improvement. Furthermore, by knowing yourself you will be able to know others better and understand their needs.

And that is what ours as architects is about, satisfying people's needs. We must offer useful concrete things for people, and for this, what better than to analyze how an architect thinks.

Wojciech Odrobina How Does An Architect Think?

the vision of a leader who is an architect of spaces to bring out creativity, and that of an organization as an architectural work of creativity - Wojciech Odrobina

All architectural works must be based on solid foundations so that the construction is sustained, maintained and can be seen.

Wojciech Odrobina - Know some foundations of creativity

Foundation 1: Creativity is everywhere

The idea of ​​a creative class emerges with more and more force, as a group of people who have in common the need to express their identity, their inner world and their ideas. That class of people who have their own very consolidated criteria, and apply it in the implementation of projects, problem solving, and the generation of products and services.

Wojciech oprobian comments that they are usually people who like to have spaces to be alone and also spaces to share with very diverse people.

Foundation 2: It all starts with the imagination of the best it could be.

Innovation is nourished by creativity, and creativity by imagination. We need to generate actions that provoke inspiration, to awaken our imagination.

We have to allow ourselves to dream an ideal, and surround it with all the ideas that come to mind, turn them around, contemplate them from different points of view, expand them, improvise, think of impossible possibilities, make combinations, connections, get out of the box.

Wojciech Odrobina Foundations Of Creativity In Architecture

Wojciech Odrobina- Education is the most important pillar on which a society is laid - Wojciech Oprobian

The greatness, evolution and development of a community dependent on how strong and defined are the values ​​on which its inhabitants have educated.

Academic centers are, in many cases, the spaces where the first encounters of students with each other without the protection of parents take place, the settings for the first games, interactions and disputes, where the little ones meet for the first time. before a community, a mini-society.

Wojciech Odrobina - How Does Architecture Influence Educational Processes?

Architecture responds to the most basic needs of human beings. It provides both protection from the elements of nature as well as spaces for passion and play.

Architecture marks the threshold between nature and culture - it is humanity's position in the world. Architecture is the history of human lives and the development of society, of economic, social and cultural relations.

In the globalized media-controlled society, architecture is increasingly becoming an instrument for competition and convenience of locations.

 Architecture becomes icons whose objective is to cause a sensation. Poor city planning and property speculation lead to social divisions, long travel, and loss of resources.

Wojciech Odrobina - The Architecture Of Necessity

Wojciech Odrobina - Inclusive architecture is a variant of it that prevails the inclusion of disabled people through design, trying to generate accessibility in all kinds of spaces.

In a world where inequality is commonplace, I find architecture as an integrating element, capable of offering and increasing possibilities ”Wojciech Odrobina

Through universal design, this type of architecture tries to put habitability in constant contact with the planning of spaces.

In this way, disability becomes a raison d'être of architecture and places the person (disabled or not) at the center of importance when designing. Inclusive and for everyone, that's what universal design thinks about. Adapted bathrooms, spacious interior doors, ramps for the disabled, any design that is suitable for the use of people is welcome for this current.

Wojciech Odrobina - Architecture And Design For People With  Disabilities

Wojciech Odrobina - the challenge for architecture is its ability to imagine solutions oriented towards rational growth in cities, more focused on renewing what already exists than on the uncontrolled development of the peripheries.

Architecture is present in the reality of life and, above all, in the daily life of citizens. The level of the culture of a country, together with the education and sensitivity of the citizens, is what enables us to live in a more harmonious society.

For this reason, the declaration of these special days is intended to help everyone, each in their field, to rethink the performance of their work in the best possible way to commit to society with the objectives of responsibility that constitute the guarantee of the future of citizens. of the world and its living space.

Wojciech Odrobina - The Role Of Modern Architecture

Wojciech Odrobina - Less is more in minimalist architecture for children

More does not always mean better, it can be less and much more functional or simply consider how a child can draw a house and from here start designing an architectural project for a nursery that enhances one of the greatest expressions known to all.

Trying to portray and project what a child thinks when he draws a house with its simple shapes, without decorations, with basic colors and the sloping roof of a lifetime is not an easy task if we consider that doors do not even consider that doors or windows have frames.

Wojciech Odrobina Architecture For Children

Wojciech Oprobian tells us about the different ways we can innovate in architecture and not only think about sustainability and construction systems.

THE ENVIRONMENT, CHANGE AND INNOVATION IN ARCHITECTURE

In this article about change, we talk about several ways to deal with it. Fundamentally, of the denial of change, adaptation to it and anticipation.

As we saw, denial is unsustainable. The environment will change, and refusing to see it will only lead us to stay out of reality.

Adaptation would be the minimum measure to take since, at least theoretically, it would help us to survive.
Obviously, anticipation will give us advantages. This is where innovation comes in. If we have this attitude of innovating, we will be anticipating change or even provoking it ourselves.

When we were talking about the Apple example, we saw a very clear sample. A company capable of innovating to the extreme of changing the market in which it operates.

Wojciech Odrobina - Innovation In Architecture

Wojciech Oprobian comments that there is a very direct route that is that of the architectural object itself. I think that architects have always been concerned with this route. We like it, and it is almost innate in us.

In fact, it is difficult to find an architect who does not evolve in his way of doing architecture over time. That this evolution supposes a great innovation is another matter, but the attitude is there.

Here we could include various aspects of our way of doing architecture. Even some more linked to technology, such as the application of novel materials and construction systems, etc.

The technological advances of the digital age have completely changed the scenario in which the world of Architecture moves. The construction processes are overcoming unsuspected limits and the challenges presented by the 4.0 revolution are being met.

Wojciech Odrobina Aspect to innovate in Architecture

For example, rethinking how we relate to our customers. If we ask ourselves day by day how we do it and what results this has for the client, surely we will be able to begin to identify new needs or ways of doing different things to make life easier for them.

Every product under digital pressure mutates into service - Wojciech Odrobina

 This impact of digital transformation has removed the foundations of the classic separation between product and service.
There are architecture professionals who are already offering some services in the form of packaged products, useful for their clients and direct.

Another open field is that of our processes. If we can innovate to improve our way of working, and translate that into value for the client, we will have a valuable differential element.

And there is more, almost anything that we can think of that allows us to create value. The question is to be really willing to do it, practice it day by day and have the will to do different things differently.

Wojciech Odrobina - Trends of Innovation in Architecture 
Here are some examples of areas of architecture in which one is innovating in one way or another:

Wellness. The architectural environment at all scales has a decisive influence on the human being who inhabits it. This is leading to investigations in workspaces, hotels, commercial spaces, etc.

Sustainability. Here is a very large field. We can also mention some certification, but also the use of novel materials (straw) or different systems.

BIM. It will probably be a disruptive innovation in our sector, since it will change the way of managing projects, processes, etc.

Lean Construction. The application in architecture of operating methodologies that come from other areas can give very interesting results.

Society. Performance management systems with citizen participation, fight against gentrification processes, augmented reality, smart cities

Large-scale use of data. As in any human activity, the data is going to be the oil of the 21st century. In architecture they can be used with a thousand applications, including some of the previous lines.

Wojciech Odrobina - How can you innovate in architecture?

Wojciech Odrobina - the real estate firm focused on the design and promotion of high-end homes, details how technology makes the use of resources in this niche more efficient.
Processes such as 3D and augmented reality, Cloud Computing, interoperability, robotics and 3D printing, Internet of Things or new management methodologies, will help to meet the expected deadlines of any work and not exceed the original costs of the projects. .

Wojciech Odrobina tells us a little more about the avant-garde developments that are changing the architectural scene of today:

1. 3D Printing in Architecture
The potential of three-dimensional printing is not a science fiction thing, but has come to stay and revolutionize the Architecture sector.

This technology creates objects and elements for models from different sectors. However, in the world of Construction and Building, it is already part of projects that do not need molds and that combine different materials to complete the different parts of a structure.

Thus, through a macroprinter and a model introduced by computer, the resulting material can be placed in layers until it is achieved.

2. Drones applied to the building
The professional use of drones has also caught up with architectural tasks.

The recreation of the terrain with 3D infographics, the taking of aerial images to monitor the evolution of the buildings accurately or the modification of structures built with latest-generation architectural elements are just some of its applications within this field.

3. Robotic Architecture
At the moment robots are already used to mechanize dangerous tasks (demolition, insulation projection, or those that are heavier (placement of materials, adaptation of spaces to different sizes, inspection tasks, cleaning ...) in order to speed them up and optimize times.

However, the development that robotics is undergoing makes us think that in the not so long time it will also allow it to carry out other tasks of greater architectural responsibility.

4. BIM methodology
Not only is it a revolution in itself for engineers, but architects are also experiencing its benefits in the design and maintenance phases of buildings.

Keep in mind that this methodology allows you to carry out immersive projects in which you can walk through its interior before they are even carried out or detect and combat errors in your planning.

5. Virtual Reality applied to Architecture
The multiple applications of Virtual Reality have turned this technology into a new architectural niche.

And among all of them, it should be noted that this new form of real-time 3D design allows architects, clients or other project agents to interact with the environment created: from modifying the textures or the color of the walls to changing an exterior, consulting the measures or update expenses.

6. Sustainable architecture
The need to improve sustainability and achieve energy efficiency in buildings and other infrastructures is now a reality, and in some countries it is required that all newly built homes in their member countries present “almost zero” energy consumption for the year 2020.
