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:
1. Young CAADRIA Awards
2. Roundtable Proposals

Nanjing, the capital of ten dynasties in Chinese history, is a city
