ACADIA '93 Call for Papers
--------------------------
The Annual Conference of
The Association for Computer Aided Design in Architecture
ACADIA '93
Education and Practice: The Critical Interface
Texas A & M University
College Station, Texas
October 14 through October 17, 1993
For many years, architects and educators have debated questions
about the relationship between architectural education and the
profession: How should education serve the profession? What
obligations does the profession have toward education. What should
be the objectives of architectural education? What should the
practitioner expect of a new architectural graduate? At times,
the pragmatic concerns of practitioners have clashed with the
theoretical concerns of educators.
Those debates, in recent years, have included issues of computer
-aided design. Virtually every phase of architectural design, and
most courses in architectural education, are impacted by the
installation of computer-aided design systems in offices and
schools. Software and hardware vendors find themselves in the
middle of a difficult but interesting, dilemma. While supporting
systems optimized for professional practice, they also are asked
to supply radically different systems for educational use.
Fortunately, many individuals work in both realms. For example,
many faculty members, through their coursework, consultancies, or
practices, maintain a strong interest in professional CAD systems.
Likewise, there are many practitioners, seeing the shortcomings of
popular CAD packages, who look to academia, among other places,
for new directions in design software and hardware. There is
increased professional interest in continuing education in CAD;
academia surely will help provide the needed programs.
ACADIA '93 will bring together academicians, architects,
researchers, software developers, and others interested in the
interface between education and practice. They will discuss the
myriad of opportunities and constraints that computer technology
may provide to this interface. The discussions will also include
such issues as:
-research in design theory
-the design process and its evolution
-curriculum development and implementation
-mechanisms for transmitting academic research to the profession
-the effect of academic research on the profession
-the influence of professional practice on academia
-and more
If you want to participate in these discussions, ACADIA invites you
to submit an abstract indicating your intention to submit a paper for
possible inclusion in the ACADIA '93 Proceedings. Abstracts of not
more than 500 words should be received by the ACADIA '93 Technical
Chairs by March 22, 1993. Authors submitting abstracts will receive
detailed instructions for their paper submissions. Drafts of papers,
due by May 10, 1993, will be "blind" reviewed by at least three
members of the Technical Review Committee. Authors will be notified
early in July as to whether their papers have been accepted. The final
manuscripts must be received by August 9, 1993. Abstracts should
be submitted to Professors Fred Morgan and Richard Pohlman, the
ACADIA '93 Technical Chairs.
Schedule:
March 15 Abstracts Due
May 10 First Drafts Due
June 28 Notices Mailed to Authors
August 9 Final Drafts Due
The ACADIA 1993 Annual Conference will be sponsored by and held at
the College of Architecture, Texas A & M University, College Station,
Texas, October 14-17, 1993. For more information, please contact:
