Ecaade Ris 2017

This is the Official Page of the 5th eCAADe Regional International Symposium which will be held at the Welsh School of Architecture 27th-28th April 2017

eCAADe RIS 2017

This group will focus on providing regular information about the event, updates regarding deadlines / submissions & posting interesting content within the field of computational architecture and computer aided design to promote interesting intellectual discussion among peers and professionals.

Event Date: 27th - 28th April 2017

Theme: The Virtual and the Physical - Between the representation of space and the making of space

Location: Welsh School of Architecture, Bute Building, CF10 3NB, Cardiff

The realm of computation in architecture spans from the virtual representation of space to its physical making. Beyond the visualisation of space we are concerned with the different models of space to explore and uncover its relevant properties. At the symposium we will explore the dimensions of space beyond its physical existence and try to understand the implication of computation in architecture to social, political and environmental spaces. At the other end of the spectrum computation in architecture intends to optimise, automate and integrate effective methods and concepts into architectural production. Through biomimicry /biophilia and material computation, we explore alternative approaches to space construction. We are interested in the gravitational field between the afore-mentioned extreme ends of computation in architecture. Within the symposium we intend to uncover how computation in design and fabrication influences our understanding of space and, reciprocally, how the computational representation of space impacts the production of architecture. We aim to reach to the extremes of the spectrum of architectural space to critically speculate about its creation in theory and practice.
