Design Conference 2004

Technology and Architecture

Just as the industrial revolution changed the way we build things with the introduction of new technologies such as the steel frame, the computer revolution is changing things today even more significantly. While the revolution has been around for a while, the massive computing power now available, coupled with advances in software, and a new generation of computer proficient architects is touching all parts of our practice. These changes have brought tremendous change as well as tremendous opportunities to both practicing architects and graduating students. How are these changes affecting the way we practice, how do we see them affecting our future work, and what new opportunities might they offer for expanding the services we offer? This conference will address the sweeping changes that are reshaping the way we design and produce buildings as computers become more and more powerful.
