CAADRIA 2007: The 12th Annual Conference of the Association of Computer Aided Architectural Design in Asia
Theme: DIGITIZATION AND GLOBALIZATION
Dates: 19-22 April, 2007
Host: Southeast University, Nanjing University, Nanjing, P.R. China

Turning to 21st century, the globe has been rapidly becoming a small village as the transportation and communication tools become more efficient and more easily available to the public. So has this been happenning in AEC industry (Architecture, Engineering and Construction). Digital technology has apparently changed the working process in the AEC industry, but not as efficiently as manufacturing industry, such as automobile production. It might be mainly because of the diversified components and scattered sites with lower industry standards, especially against the background of customization and vernacular traditions of architecture. What roles can digital technology play in this development and how can we steer correctly this inevitable trend?
To answer these questions, we need more exchange and collaboration in all fields. CAADRIA 2007, again, provides us such a chance to get closer to our goals. Specifically, this event will be happening in China again, after 7 years break. China now is the biggest construction site in the world, trying to catch the pace of globalization and modernization. More lessons need to be learnt from all over the world. We firmly believe that CAADRIA 2007 will be such an attractive moment to share the expertise and ideas for mutual benefit.
Primary conference themes:
- Digital Architecture
- Internet Aided Design
- Sustainability in the AEC industry with the help of information technology
Research papers on all topics related to computer-aided design are invited for submission. Please note that CAADRIA 2007 conference comprises four different categories of submissions and presentations:
