5th GASS 2008: The Great Asian Streets Symposium (Department of Architecture, National University of Singapore, from 2008-12-05 00:30 to 2008-12-08 00:30) — by admin

The Great Asian Streets Symposium (GASS) was established in 2001. The initiative to organize such event came form recognition that there is a need for an Asia-based node of excellence on networks of ideas and results of research projects that focus at Asian cities. Historically and today, research activity and literature on Asian cities and public spaces are conducted and published by European and American institutions. By initiating and organizing GASS, Department of Architecture of the National University of Singapore responded to a dire lack of truly Asian perspectives within that field.

ACADIA 2008: Silicon + Skin. Biological Processes and Computation (Digital Design Consortium in the School of Architecture and Computer Science, The University of Minnesota , from 2008-10-16 00:00 to 2008-10-19 00:00) — by admin

The ACADIA 2008 Conference fosters design work and research from the worlds of practice and academia which lie at the intersection between design, biology, and computation.

Advances in Architectural Geometry (Vienna University of Technology and Austrian Academy of Sciences, Vienna, Austria, from 2008-09-13 00:00 to 2008-09-16 00:00) — by admin

Geometry lies at the core of the architectural design process. It is omnipresent, from the initial form-finding stages to the final construction. Modern geometric computing provides a variety of tools for the efficient design, analysis, and manufacturing of complex shapes. On the one hand this opens up new horizons for architecture. On the other hand, the architectural context also poses new problems to geometry. Around these problems the research area of architectural geometry is emerging. It is situated at the border of applied geometry and architecture.

The conference proceedings will form a continuing archive of design computing and cognition research. The conference will be preceded by a series of half-day workshops on specialist topics in design computing and cognition.

Analogous Spaces: Architecture and the space of information, intellect and action (Ghent University, Ghent, from 2008-05-15 00:00 to 2008-05-17 00:00) — by admin

The International Conference on Analogous Spaces interrogates the analogy between spaces in which knowledge is preserved, organized, transferred or activated. Although these spaces may differ in material, virtual, or operational ways, there are resemblances if one examines their ‘structure,’ ‘form’ and ‘architecture’. How do these spaces co-exist and interrelate?

CAADRIA 2008: Beyond Computer-Aided Design (Faculty of Architecture, Chiang Mai University, Chiang Mai, Thailand, from 2008-04-09 00:00 to 2008-04-12 00:20) — by admin

In the Twenty-First Century, advanced digital technologies play a significant role in almost every aspect of our life. Many believe we are living in parallel space between the physical and the so-called 'Digital World' where alternative visualization and simulation seamlessly bridge these worlds.

ISVS 4: Pace or Speed? (Faculty of Architecture, Center for Environmental Planning and Technology - CEPT University, Ahmedabad, India, from 2008-02-15 00:00 to 2008-02-19 00:00) — by admin

The fourth international seminar on vernacular settlements (ISVS-04) is being hosted by School of Architecture, CEPT at Ahmedabad, India in the month of February 2008. The focus of the seminar is on vernacular settlements and architecture in transition. Even though the change is an inevitable phenomenon, it happening without a structured study results in abrupt built environments. In most Asian philosophies, change is considered inevitable and a well come ingredient that has been cautiously controlled by the society...

ASCAAD 2007: Embodying Virtual Architecture (The Library of Alexandria (Bibliotheca Alexandrina), Alexandria, Egypt, from 2007-11-26 00:00 to 2007-11-28 00:00) — by admin

This workshop aims to encourage the design research community to exploit Semantic Web and Web 2.0 techniques, facilitate communication between researchers and practitioners, and identify key research and implementation issues. In this workshop, the focus will be on practical applications and techniques for improving design processes. Such emphasis is particularly important and timely since more design organisations are considering moving toward using the Semantic Web in their businesses processes.

eCAADe 2007: Predicting the Future ( FH Wiesbaden and FH Frankfurt, Frankfurt, Germany, from 2007-09-26 00:00 to 2007-09-29 00:00) — by Anand Bhatt

Digital tools can support the whole design process from the early phases through to final production. They enable the project participants to gain a better understanding of ideas and issues throughout all project phases. The focus of the eCAADe 2007 conference is that of tools and methods that support the whole range of participants from laymen to specialists in communicating, planning, costing and realizing built projects in all of the architectural fields.

Conference Theme: Integrating Technologies for Computer-Aided Design. Hardware, software and communication technologies continue to advance both incrementally and occasionally in quantum leaps. At the same time the accessibility of the technology continues to increase due to the reduction in costs and their proliferation. They provide the technological foundation for new ways of thinking about using computers in designing and the use of computers in design itself as well as in the education of designers. This conference will provide a forum for the presentation of the latest research and pedagogical results through an invitation for original papers that will be internationally refereed.

AESOP 2007: Planning for the risk society (University Congress Center, University "Federico II", Napoli, Italy, from 2007-07-11 00:00 to 2007-07-14 00:00) — by admin

AESOP is a network of universities and university departments that teach and conduct research within the field of urban and regional planning. The network exists to promote the development of the teaching curricula and research within the Member Schools through regular dialogue, exchange visits and the dissemination of research and best practice. These aims are achieved through an Annual Congress where staff and students make presentations and discuss papers on European, national, regional and local spatial planning issues, as well as debates on planning curricula. A three-day Ph.D workshop precedes the Congress. The AESOP Newsletter provides information on the activities of member schools, reports of AESOP Working Groups and other issues.

Historical recordings, scientific engineering, its Tools, Mathematical language and application are basically the parameters of gen_5 concept, which form the modern techno - scientific culture. This is a chain development starting from prehistoric culture to modern sciences, which are engineered and used in life through technological developments and innovations. Gen_5 Architecture can be well defined as a human development chain of modern world and its application as a need of society.

CAADRIA 2007: Digitization and Globalization (School of Architecture Southeast University, Southeast University, Nanjing, PR China, from 2007-04-18 00:00 to 2007-04-22 00:00) — by admin

Turning to 21st century, the globe has been rapidly becoming a small village as the transportation and communication tools become more efficient and more easily available to the public. So has this been happening in AEC industry (Architecture, Engineering and Construction). Digital technology has apparently changed the working process in the AEC industry, but not as efficiently as in manufacturing industry, such as automobile production. It might be mainly because of the diversified components and scattered sites with lower industry standards, especially against the background of customization and vernacular traditions of architecture. What roles can digital technology play in this development and how can we steer correctly this inevitable trend?
