About:

“The Association for Computer Aided Design in Architecture is an international network of digital design researchers and professionals. We facilitate critical investigations into the role of computation in architecture, planning, and building science, encouraging innovation in design creativity, sustainability, and education.”

This year’s conference explores the impact of technological, data, and material advances in shaping or disrupting the future of making. Topics included: the building and urban scale, architecture and engineering, real and virtual, on site and remote, physical and digital data, professionals and crowds.

As the architect’s role continually evolves with these practices, how can new innovation be harnessed to secure better practices in the future?
