*e**Design** in Architecture*

* *

*ASCAAD’s First International Conference on Computer Aided Architectural 
Design *

* *

*7-9 December 2004*

*KFUPM, **Saudi Arabia*

* *http://www.ascaad.org/conference/2004

*ASCAAD *(Arab Society of Computer Aided Architectural Design)**

In cooperation with

*Architecture Department, *

College of Environmental Design,

*King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals*

This is the first of an incoming series of international conferences for 
quality research in computer aided architectural design in the Arab 
Continent. It provides opportunities for researchers in many fields that 
make up this interdisciplinary research area to share their ideas and 
contribution.

The process of architectural design aims to define a physical form that 
will achieve certain functional and behavioral objectives in a 
particular context. The use of computers at various stages of the design 
process has implications for the way designing is carried out. Research 
in CAAD especially electronic design (e-design) has the potential to 
significantly enhance both the architectural design process and its 
outcome and the architectural education. The theme of the 2004 
conference is “e-Design in Architecture”. This captures the role of this 
conference as a forum of diverse range of information and computational 
methods broadly applied to design and architecture.

*Topics of interest *

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

· Computer mediated Collaborative Design in Architecture
