AIS Week 2025 & CAADRIA Workshop Collaboration
The Architectural Informatics Society (AIS) is a Japan-based platform dedicated to exploring the development and impact of information technology in architecture and urban environments. AIS Week is an annual event that serves as a forum for learning, discussion, and hands-on engagement with the latest research and technologies in the field.
For AIS Week 2025, we are excited to announce a special collaboration with CAADRIA. This year, CAADRIA’s workshop series will be integrated into AIS Week, enhancing opportunities for learning and networking.
The event will feature 10 workshops and roundtable sessions, offering participants the opportunity to deepen their understanding of cutting-edge theories and develop practical skills. Workshops will cover diverse topics, including computational design, digital fabrication, AI-driven methodologies, and advancements in BIM, with hands-on training led by experts. Additionally, roundtable sessions will facilitate discussions among researchers and practitioners on the future of architecture and urban informatics.
Through this collaboration, we aim to bridge academia and practice, fostering interdisciplinary knowledge exchange and innovation. AIS Week 2025 will not only provide insights into emerging technologies but also offer opportunities for skill enhancement and international networking.
