Abstract

This paper takes the 25th anniversary conference of CAADRIA as an opportunity to reflect on the association as well as the changing landscape of CAAD research in Asia. Following a discussion of CAADRIA and its organisational structures and procedures, the paper analyses and reflects on past and current developments of our research community. To this end, CAADRIA publication keywords are examined to visually map the development of the association since such keywords started to be recorded consistently 12 years ago. The paper calls for a revived critical discourse on fundamental questions of our field in general, and some disconnects between CAADRIA's mission and its current direction in particular. It concludes with a discussion of potential directions for CAADRIA for the coming 25 years.
