Call For Papers - CFP

eCAADe - Educational and research in Computer Aided Architectural Design in Europe - is a non-profit making association of institutions and individuals with a common interest in promoting good practice and sharing information in relation to the use of computers in education and research in architecture and related professions. eCAADe was founded in 1983:

Conference Theme

Internet of Things, pervasive nets, Knowledge ‘on tap’, Big Data, Wearable devices and the ‘Third wave’ of AI are disruptive technologies that are upsetting our globalised world as far as it can be predicted henceforth.

So academicians, professionals, researchers, students innovation factories… are warmly invited to further shake up and boost our innovative and beloved CAAD world with new ideas, paradigms and points of view.

Will our fine buildings and design traditions survive? Or, will they ‘simply’ be hybridized and enhanced by methods, techniques and CAAD tools? Obviously computation is needed to match the ever-growing performance requirements, but this is not enough to answer all these questions we have to deal with the essence of problems: improve design solutions for a better life!

As life is not a matter of single individuals, we need to increase collaboration and to improve knowledge sharing. This means going back to focusing on human beings, and involves the humanistic approach, and the long history of design…from handicrafts to thinking to technology... to handicrafts.

A large spiral of the architectura as eternal as our city.
