CAADRIA 2025 invites contributions in line with the 2025 Conference Theme of "Architectural Informatics"

The concepts of architecture and cities are historically intrinsic to human civilization, as a consciousness of mankind's need to construct artificial environments. However, decades after the advent of computers, we are now reconsidering their existence against the backdrop of the rapid expansion and evolution of information technology and its profound impact on industry, the economy, daily life, and society.

The quantum acceleration of information processing and communication has had a profound impact on the design of all kinds of artifacts, production techniques, management systems, and usage patterns, and has already surpassed the traditional concept of design and its support methods. By considering social activities and human organizations as forms of information processing, we can reconsider architecture and cities as information systems that have been constructed, accumulated, and acted upon. Viewing architecture and cities through this lens suggests that real and virtual spaces should not be seen as opposing entities, but rather as complementary components within a unified system.

In other words, information may be architecture. With “Architectural Informatics” as the theme of CAADRIA's 30th anniversary, we would like to reexamine the fundamental existence of architecture in the age of information technology.

We invite original high-quality papers presenting current computer-aided architectural design research, accommodating a broad spectrum of approaches ranging from speculative, informal investigations to conventional scientific research, including but not limited to the following topics:

Artificial intelligence, neural networks and machine learning
Building Information Modeling (BIM)

City Information Modeling (CIM)

Collective, collaborative & interdisciplinary design

Computational design research & education

Design cognition and human-computer interaction

Disrupted practices, resilience, and social sustainability

Environmental and ecological performance

Generative, algorithmic & evolutionary design

Digital Heritage

Interactive environments

Material systems, processes and assembly

Practice-based design research

Robotics, digital fabrication and construction

Simulation, visualisation and impact projection

Theory, philosophy & methodology of computational design research

Urban analytics, big data analysis and smart cities

AR / VR / XR
Application of technology in the context of the Asia-Pacific Region

Paper acceptance will be subject to a two-stage reviewing process, based on an initial abstract review and a later double-blind peer review of full-length manuscripts. The paper publication will be subject to review acceptance, compliance with submission deadlines and formatting guidelines, and to payment of the conference registration fee. Please kindly note that multiple submissions are subject to multiple registrations.
