The Architecture and Design Departments of Universidad de los Andes have been invited by SiGraDi, the Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics to host in Bogota between 17th and 19th November the fourteenth annual congress.

Our 2010 main theme is “Disruption, Modeling and Construction: Shifting
Dialogues”. The submissions are expected to contribute to the knowledge of the field of design and design technologies from a multidisciplinary perspective.

In search for connections between disciplines the conference will be hosted jointly by the Architecture and Design Departments, along with the Engineering, Arts and Mathematics Schools of Universidad de los Andes, offering a place for international debate on current challenges suggested by digital technologies when applied to our disciplines.
