Submitted design and research work should address the way information processes, systems and tools are manifested and explored in and with the use of algorithmic, evolutionary and digital material/fabrication processes. Research projects resulting from multidisciplinary collaborations between architects, industrial designers, media artists, game designers, computer scientists and engineers, as well as other disciplines or collaborative projects that affect the built environment, the public domain, and human perception are highly encouraged.
Evaluation Process
Projects will be evaluated according to the value of the contribution, originality, procedural soundness, and legibility. Projects will be reviewed by an international panel of experts in a blind peer-reviewed process and will be chosen according to both merit and fit to the conference theme.
Submission Guidelines
Send a slide presentation of maximum 10 slides, 96dpi each, in PDF format. One of ten slides must include a project description of maximum 500 words. Your slide presentation and filename may not include any identifying marks or authors name. Go to the 'Submission' tab on this website and create an account as author and follow the submission guidelines.
Welcome
The ACADIA 2010 conference will focus on the changing nature of information and its impact on architectural education, research and practice. With the ever-increasing integration of information technologies in the design laboratory, the discipline of architecture has changed profoundly in recent years. The emerging fields of digital fabrication, generative and evolutionary modeling among others, are now at the core of investigations in a growing community of digital design practitioners and researchers.
ACADIA 2010 will explore the ways designers, architects, engineers and scientists collect, analyze and assemble information through computational systems that redefine the notions of design performance and optimization, evolutionary and responsive models. These notions are today inherently related to the possibilities and limitations offered by our increasing computational capabilities, and the way information shapes relations between the human, the environment, and the machine.
ACADIA 2010 will gather leading practitioners, theorists, and researchers who will examine the relation that architecture has with technology and information, and how the latter propels today’s most innovative design experimentations and research. The conference will be centered on a series of peer-reviewed paper sessions and a groundbreaking exhibition including peer-reviewed projects.
ACADIA 2010: October 21st to 24th 2010, The Cooper Union, NY
