Call for Participation: ACADIA Conference 2005
SMART ARCHITECTURE
Recent developments in innovative technologies and smart materials have
created new opportunities and are suggesting significant changes in the
way we design and build architecture. Traditionally, however, there has
always been a gap between the new technologies and their applications
into other areas.
Even though, most technological innovations hold the promise to
transform the building industry and the architecture within, and
although, there have been some limited attempts in this area recently;
to date architecture has failed to utilize the vast amount of
accumulated technological knowledge and innovations to significantly
transform the industry. Consequently, the applications of new
technologies to architecture remain remote and inadequate.
This conference aims to address this situation by focusing on how new
technologies can be integrated with and into architecture. It will focus
on all levels of technology and different dimensions of architecture and
the ways they relate to innovation and building industry.
