CAADRIA 2011 Call for Papers

Circuit Bending, Breaking and Mending

The 16th International Conference of the Association for Computer-Aided Architectural Design Research in...
Dates: April 27-29, 2011Host: School of Architecture and Built
Environment, University of Newcastle, Australia
Conference Web Site: http://www.caadria2011.com

Contemporary advances in design are
shaped by computational design methods, strategies and technologies,
regardless of whether these advances are manifested in the design and
construction of a building, in related theory and analysis, or in the
ways in which future designers and scholars are educated. Architectural
computation in the post-digital era calls for new ideas that will
transcend conventional boundaries and support creative insights through
design and into design. “Circuit Bending, Breaking and Mending”
provides an interdisciplinary context for challenging traditional
paradigms and invites researchers and practitioners alike to
(re)consider and (re)address design and computation with a particular
focus on three themes:
Innovative design conceptualisation and support through computational
theories and technologies.
Enhanced knowledge of architecture and design through computational
analysis.
Improved approaches to design education through computational thinking
and applications.

CAADRIA 2011 invites submissions of original research papers, posters
and exhibitions on topics related to computer-aided design, including
but not limited to:

Design intelligence and automation
Computational design analysis
Generative and parametric design
Simulation and visualisation
Virtual and interactive environments
Human-computer interaction
Ubiquitous computing
Computer-supported design collaboration
Design cognition
Digital art and new media
Computational research in design education
Computational research in design practice
Interdisciplinary computational design research
Theory, philosophy and methodology of computational design research

Young researchers currently involved in postgraduate studies are invited to submit their
work-in-progress research papers to the CAADRIA 2011 Postgraduate
Student Consortium.
