Call For Papers

 

eDesign 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.
