This investigation is part of the Digital Alberti research project, which aims to decode Alberti’s treatise through the use of new technologies. This treatise can be interpreted as a set of instructions regarding the art of building. The instructions related to Alberti’s column system were translated into computational models, capable of generating digital instances of column elements according to the classical canons prescribed in the treatise. These instances were then digitally produced, materializing Alberti’s theory. Despite Alberti’s thoroughness, some detailing information is missing, namely for the Corinthian capital; observation and computational geometry were important for filling in the gaps. Such investigation allows determining the suitability of different modelling strategies, as well as the potential of different prototyping technologies.Key words: Alberti, De re aedificatoria, Corinthian capital, generative modelling, digital fabrication. O objectivo principal da investigação em curso descrita neste artigo é produzir um capitel Coríntio através de modelação generativa e prototipagem digital, de acordo com De Re Aedificatoria, o tratado de arquitectura de Leon Battista Alberti. Esta investigação é parte integrante do projecto de investigação Alberti Digital, que procura descodificar o tratado de Alberti mediante o uso de novas tecnologias. O tratado pode ser interpretado como um conjunto de instruções para a arte de bem construir. As instruções relativas ao sistema de coluna de Alberti foram traduzidas em modelos computacionais, capazes de gerar instâncias digitais dos elementos da coluna segundo os cânones clássicos prescritos no tratado. Estas instâncias foram depois produzidas digitalmente, materializando a teoria de Alberti. Apesar do rigor de Alberti, falta alguma informação de pormenorização, nomeadamente para o capitel Coríntio; observação e geometria computacional foram importantes para preencher os espaços vazios. Esta investigação permite determinar a adequação de diferentes estratégias de modelação, bem como o potencial de diferentes técnicas de prototipagem.Palavras-chave: Alberti, De Re Aedificatoria, capitel Coríntio, modelação generativa, fabricação digital.
