These events have allowed the introduction these technologies into teaching practices and give way to the creation of the first laboratories of digital fabrication, questioning the new role of the architect in the design and construction processes and give way to a world of possibilities through workshops that allow to explore different spatial and volumetric possibilities, as is the case of different laboratories created in a small number of universities.</span></p><p><strong><span lang="EN-US">Keywords:</span></strong><span lang="EN-US"> Design, digital fabrication, architecture, University.</span></p>}, number={4}, journal={Estoa.
