the association for computer-aided architectural design research in asia

The Association for Computer-Aided Architectural Design Research in Asia is also known as CAADRIA. It promotes teaching and research in CAAD in Asia. It has members on six continents. It organizes an annual conference, the first of which was held in 1996 in Hong Kong. Since then, 20 conferences have been held in Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand. The next conference, in 2015, will be held in Kyungpook National University Daegu, Korea. The conferences provide an opportunity for teachers, students, researchers, and practitioners to meet each other and learn about the latest research in the field. The proceedings of the conferences are available both on line and in research libraries around the world. CAADRIA was founded in 1996 with the following objectives: To facilitate the dissemination of information about CAAD among Asian schools of architecture, planning, engineering, and building sciences. To encourage the exchange of staff, students, experience, courseware, and software among schools. To identify research and develop needs in CAAD education and to initiate collaboration to satisfy them. To promote research and teaching in CAAD that enhances creativity rather than production.CAADRIA is one of the four founding organizations of the International Journal of Architectural Computing (IJAC), and supervises one issue each year. IJAC is published by Multi-Science in both paper and electronic versions. CAADRIA Charter, CAADRIA Fellows, CAADRIA Officers and CAADRIA Membership are the CAADRIA organizations. CAADRIA Awards included Tee Sasada Award, Young CAADRIA Awards, Best Paper Awards and Best Presentation Awards. Computational design research and education, Computational design analysis, Generative, algorithmic and evolutionary design, Digital fabrication and construction, Collaborative and collective design, Design cognition, Virtual/augmented reality and interactive environments, Virtual architecture and city modeling, Human-computer interaction. Ubiquitous and mobile computing, Practice-based and interdisciplinary computational design research, Theory, philosophy and methodology of computational design research, Simulation and Visualization, Building Information Modeling and Architectural Materials and 3D Printing are the  specific themes in which one can submit their research papers or posters.
