Activity: Visiting an external academic institution › Visiting professor
Description
As Visiting Professor at the Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL), Ricardo Codinhoto has contributed meaningfully to the university’s postgraduate and research environment, particularly in Architecture and Urban Planning. During his visit, he delivered a series of formative academic activities and engaged directly with postgraduate students and faculty, strengthening the research culture of the PhD programme. His work focused on Building Information Modelling (BIM) and its application to socially oriented urban development, offering methodological and conceptual inputs that align with contemporary research in digitalisation and design management. Codinhoto also facilitated interdisciplinary workshops involving PhD students, academic staff, and external urban‑planning agencies, guiding participants in the development of a BIM‑based model for managing social‑interest housing projects. His contribution supported the programme’s emphasis on evidence-based approaches and innovative methodologies for the built environment, deepening UEL’s research links with international expertise in digital transformation, design processes, and lifecycle decision‑making in architecture.
