Simone Garagnani's primary field of interest is focused on
architectural modeling, intended not only as a representation
instrument, but in a wider meaning as a method to digitally archive
and manage information among the several actors involved in the
design process.
To study and develop this research, Simone Garagnani attended the
doctoral school at the Faculty of Engineering, University of
Bologna, with a Ph.D. Thesys entitled: " Digital Models and Design
Archives - Integrated systems for architectural
documentation".
His Ph.D. thesis is aimed at a deep analisys of state-of-the-art
methods to embed design data into digital models, in order to
develop an advanced planning instrument destined to architects,
engineers and designers. This is slightly beyond the commercial
Building Information Modeling definition, as mathematical studies
and knowledge-based theories are involved.
