Description

MARTENS Bob and BROWN Andre Co-conference Chairs; CAAD Futures 2005 Computer Aided Architectural Design is a particularly dynamic field that is developing through the actions of architects; software developers; researchers; technologists; users; and society alike. CAAD tools in the architectural office are no longer prominent outsiders; but have become ubiquitous tools for all professionals in the design disciplines. At the same time; techniques and tools from other fields and uses; are entering the field of architectural design. This is exemplified by the tendency to speak of Information and Communication Technology as a field in which CAAD is embedded. Exciting new combinations are possible for those; who are firmly grounded in an understanding of architectural design and who have a clear vision of the potential use of ICT. CAAD Futures 2005 called for innovative and original papers in the field of Computer Aided Architectural Design; that present rigorous; high-quality research and development work. Papers should point towards the future; but be based on a thorough understanding of the past and present.
