Abstract – CAADRIA 2012 requirements Papers should address the conference theme and any of its categories and be in the form of original contribution that present research (specifically the objectives, issues, hypotheses, conceptual framework and methodology), or a theoretical reflection about an issue relevant to design research, education or practice.

-In the first phase, submit abstracts not more than 800 words in length, include context, key-references and up to 5 keywords. Submit (type or copy/paste) your abstract directly into the text field of the submission system. No file is to be uploaded or attached in this stage. All abstracts will undergo review by the Paper Selection Committee. Authors of accepted abstracts will be invited to submit full papers.

From “bricks and mortar” to “nuts and bolts”, and on to “codes and pixels”, the scope of architectural design technology, research and education is characterised by continuous expansion. On this journey of enrichment, digitally enabled thinkers help to rethink and to recast the building blocks, perceptive lenses, expressive features and analytical frames of architectural design in particular and of how humans perceive and make choices in general. Acknowledging that the possibilities of current digital processes and tools are far from exhausted, this conference seeks new thoughts, fresh approaches and a surge forward: What comes next?

Digital tools for seeing the new and for choosing what is best are deployed no longer just in the design studio and on the construction site. They mediate performances and experiences of the spaces and constraints of not only the creatively expressible and of the physically inhabitable, but increasingly also of the socially desirable. The organizers of this conference set out to investigate the future role of computer-aided architectural design (CAAD) research in this context.

CAADRIA 2012 invites submissions of original research papers, posters and exhibitions on topics in computational architectural design research, including but not limited to the following areas and aspects:

• Design intelligence and automation • Design cognition and analysis

• Digital fabrication and construction • Generative, parametric, and evolutionary design • Digital documentation and design documentation • Simulation and visualisation • Animation and virtualisation • Human-computer interaction • Collaborative design • Education in CAAD • Ubiquitous and mobile design computing • Practice-based and interdisciplinary CAAD • Theory, philosophy, and methodology of CAAD

Young researchers currently involved in postgraduate studies are invited to apply for the Young CAADRIA Award and to submit their research-in-progress to the CAADRIA 2012 Postgraduate Student Consortium.
