Table for on line design for architects

The team from the UIB that is directed by the computer professor, Yuhua Luo, together with six offices of associate architects, three in Spain, two in Portugal and one in Holand, have finished the project "Multi-site Cooperative 3D Design System for Architecture". This is a programme that facilitates the architects situated in different geographical places to have a virtual and tridemensional work table, with plans that they can share and modify on line in real time.

The total cost of the project has come to three million euros, 50 per cent supplied by the European Espirit Project, a third by the UIB and the rest by the commercial partners.

Yuhua Luo is the director of the project and a group of pupils and graduates in Computer studies have worked with her: David Sánchez, Antoni Bennàssar, Joan Fornés, Joan Carles Serra, Juan Manuel Huéscar, Josep Gayà and Jaume Ferragut. The six architects' offices that have participated in the project includes Arqmaq SL, in Palma.
