SIGRADI 2010. XIV Congreso de la Sociedad Iberomaericana de Gráfica Digital, desarrollado los días 17, 18 y 19 de Noviembre del 2010. Bogotá, Colombia / It is common today the use a graphical user interface and techniques to automate a process through compute - rization. By contrast, when trying to learn computational approaches, we have not overcome the learning curve and many of the workshops have not had the expected results to prolong their use. In this research we explore the trends in this process, from those that generate the generic object to those that appropriate it by modification. The set of case studies presents patterns and uses of those instructors who have come to be use algorithms intensively to solve a design problem

SIGRADI 2010. XIV Congreso de la Sociedad Iberomaericana de Gráfica Digital, desarrollados los días 17, 18 y 19 de Noviembre del 2010. Bogotá, Colombia / Since 2008 the preference for using different programming methods (Rhinoscript) had been analyzed using blogs. Searching for answers to explain the negative tendency of this year (from 48,063 to 16,332), a second repository was created (Grasshopper) featuring interactive methods and techniques. It has been discovered that of the five geographic regions analyzed Latin America is the only one that preferred the interactive interface (18% over programming). This shows that we are still keeping a strong dependency on the use of stable and safe technologies over disruptive ones that proved to be more efficient in design and fabrication.

La implementación de Rhinoscript en facultades de arquitectura en Latinoamérica se realizó en Santiago de Chile (2006, 2007) y Lima (2008), estableciendo algunos criterios para explorar formas complejas usando la programación, con estudiantes de pregrado bajo estrategias de postgrado. Después de documentar los resultados de las dos primeras experiencias [1], se hallaron métodos que se usaron durante la implementación. El objetivo es evidenciar como las experiencias llevadas a cabo pueden aplicarse a otros contextos regionales, proponiendo tipologías para empezar y recursos disponibles que permitan a los estudiantes desarrollar por si mismos nuevas exploraciones.

Differently from other regions in the Planet, since 2010, in Latin America textual programming language (Rhinoscripting) is being replaced by its visual equivalent (Grasshopper). This is a consequence of our preference for an interactive platform, and because our design problems are not as complex, so we aim to control geometrical problems or aspects belonging to an product scale instead of an architectural one. Problems emerging when creating code could be improved by modifying and reusing existing solutions as a starting point, since learning would not be centered in the object but in the process of creating it, using a suitable instrument.
