eDesign in Architecture
ASCAAD’s First
International Conference on Computer Aided Architectural Design
7-9 December
2004
KFUPM,
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.
