Information and Communication technologies provide the impetus for rapid change in the strategies by which we teach and conceptualize architecture at large. It is fast becoming difficult to think of an architectural education without cultures researching Computer Aided Architectural Design. Digital production, representation and manufacturing processes demonstrate powerful potentials by which architects conceptualize the design process, the ways in which these processes organize labor and bring about newer patterns of work and socialization across space and time. There are exciting challenges for researchers in well-established research cultures, and opportunities for those in emerging ones.

The 10th CAADRIA will also take a glance at a decade of CAAD research in Asia, and study the approaches that have come about across nations as they teach, demonstrate potentials of their research and academic cultures; as they investigate the new conditions possible for architectural practices across the Asian region.

The Association for Computer-Aided Architectural Design Research in Asia
An association to foster Computer Aided Architectural Design in Asia (CAADRIA) was founded in 1996 with a conference at The University of Hong Kong that was organized with significant support from Japan. The association took root and has flourished with annual conferences in nine different countries all around Asia. The conference in 2005 will be held at New Delhi and marks the tenth year of meetings.

The conference is held by and for people involved with computer aided design in architecture schools in the region. They are attended by over one hundred researchers, teachers, students and practitioners who are interested in advancing knowledge and understanding in tools and application of digital design methods in architecture. CAADRIA seeks to mentor interest and capacity to undertake research throughout Asia. In the past decade, such research has grown from only a few universities participating to now dozens of universities and schools of architecture demonstrating active commitment to teaching and research in the field. New degree programmes in digital design have been started at several universities in the region and graduates are contributing to design practice with advanced skills and the development of new tools and techniques.

The Association has been created with the following objectives…
… to facilitate dissemination of information about CAAD amongst Asian Schools of Architecture, Planning, Engineering, & Building Sciences
… to encourage the exchange of software, courseware, experiences and staff/students amongst schools
… to identify research and development needs specific to CAAD education and initiate collaboration to satisfy them
… to promote research and teaching in CAAD which enhances creativity rather than simply production technologies
CAADRIA maintains close relationship with these organisations: CAAD Futures, ACADIA, SIGRADI and eCAADe.
