Description
Architecture and cities are historically intrinsic to human civilization as a consciousness of mankind's need to construct artificial environments. However, decades after the advent of computers, we are now reconsidering their existence against the backdrop of the rapid expansion and evolution of information technology and its profound impact on industry, the economy, daily life, and society.The quantum acceleration of information processing and communication has profoundly impacted the design of all kinds of artefacts, production techniques, management systems, and usage patterns. It has already surpassed the traditional concept of design and its support methods. By considering social activities and human organizations as forms of information processing, we can reconsider architecture and cities as information systems that have been constructed, accumulated and acted upon. Viewing architecture and cities through this lens suggests that real and virtual spaces should not be seen as opposing entities but as complementary components within a unified system.
In other words, information may be architecture. With “Architectural Informatics” as the theme of CAADRIA's 30th anniversary, we would like to reexamine architecture's fundamental existence in the information technology age.The Association for Computer-Aided Architectural Design Research in Asia (CAADRIA) was established to promote the dissemination of information on computer-aided design among research and educational institutions in the fields of architecture, urban engineering, and information technology in Asia since 1996
