CAAD | INNOVATION | PRACTICE
Manama, Al bahrain
October 21 2011
The concepts and applications of Computer Aided Architectural Design (CAAD) have a
predominant presence and impacts on human innovation and creativity.
ASCAAD society invites academics, researchers and professionals interested in CAAD concepts; practical impacts on human innovation; and traditional design thinking, products, processes or organizations to join and contribute to the debate on learned lessons from the past, present and potential future impacts of present and future CAAD on innovation.
ASCAAD society and committee welcome you to join us and participate in its sixth
international conference ASCAAD 2012. With involvement of researchers and professionals
in the architectural community, it will be possible for ASCAAD to facilitate communication
and information exchange regarding the use of Computer-Aided Architectural Design and
Information Technology and how the use/ implementation would support and lead to
innovative concepts, tools, systems and products on architectural, Urban/City/ regional
planning, and building science levels. The conference provides opportunities for participants
from many fields to share their ideas and contributions.
