title	Information Technology in the Service of Sustainable Architecture
source	Workshop on Low Energy Hospital Design, Penang, Malaysia
summary	The quality of the built environment depends critically on the concept of sustainability and in particular on designs which are energy efficient and environmentally friendly. This paper gives an account of the successful application of computer-based simulations of the physical environment made available to architects through an Energy Design Advisory Service and used parametrically within a research project carried out jointly with a design and build company. It goes on to indicate how emerging multi-media technology can be used to provide an explanation, particularly to those who are technically unsophisticated, of the complexity of the way in which design decisions impact upon the energy efficiency and environmental friendliness of buildings.

title	A Tale of Three Cities
source	VR News. Proceedings of Virtual Heritage Conference 1995 (Bath [UK], Nov 22)
summary	The ABACUS Group has been active for some years in the use of computer graphics and multimedia to represent past, present and future buildings in both urban and rural settings. The three cities discussed during the presentation are Split, in former Yugoslavia - a graphical account of the development of Split from its origin in the Diocletian Palace of the Venetian Empire up to the present day; Edinburgh - a multimedia interface to a large-scale three dimensional computer model of Edinburgh Old Town; and Glasgow - Virtual City developments in the run up to the City of Architecture and Design celebrations in 1999. The presentation concludes with a report on the IMAGEA project - an international initiative to construct an Interactive Multimedia Archive of Great European Architecture.

title	From Virtual Reality to Real Virtuality
source	Design Computing Conference, Sydney
summary	The history of CAAD spans a short but eventful 30 years. This paper initially takes stock of the outcomes over this period by focusing sequentially on the modelling of the functional behaviour of building and on the modelling of the formal characteristics of building and cities. It conlcudes with a view of the way forward.

title	Information Technology in Design: A Perspective
source	Journal of Housing, Building and Planning, vol 1, 0218-6536
summary	In October 1990 a small group of people met at Ross Priory on the shores of Loch Lomond in Scotland to celebrate 21 years of computer aided building design. The calloboration- called CAAD Comes of Age - took the form of a seminar with papers presented by academics and design practitioners whose experience of this subject spanned these formative years during which the subject has grown from the minority time interest of a few eccentric academics into a multi- billion dollar business A number of the papers and much of the discussion focused on what had transpired over the 21 year period and how the evolution of the subject corresponded to the predictions which had been made at various times in the past This paper gathers together some of the perceptions which emerged from the event.

source	Sixth International Conference on Computer-Aided Architectural Design Futures [ISBN 9971-62-423-0] Singapore, 24-26 September 1995, pp. 21-22
summary	This short paper takes a critical view of the direction of research and development in Computer Aided Architectural Design over the last five years of its twenty five year history. The criticisms are set out as seven deadly sins which, in summary, are: macro-myopic, devu, xenophilia, unsustainability, failure to validate, failure to evaluate

title	Space Odyssey by Computer - Journeys through the Environment
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.caadria.1998.001
source	CAADRIA ‘98 [Proceedings of The Third Conference on Computer Aided Architectural Design Research in Asia / ISBN 4-907662-009] Osaka (Japan) 22-24 April 1998, pp. 1-10
summary	The extraordinary characteristic of the city which thrills both its citizens and those who visit it, is the complex way in which multitudes of individual buildings, themselves each a complex of individual spaces, combine to form the weft and weave of the urban fabric. No two cities are alike but each and every one has its innate and endearing character: the grandeur of Vienna, the eternity of Rome, the simplicity of Tucson, the elegance of Edinburgh, the dynamic of Tokyo, the vibrancy of Hong Kong. This presentation illustrates how the emerging computer-based technologies can, in a manner hitherto impossible, explain to students of architecture and urban design (and to the public at large) how the design of individual buildings and their spatial relationship to each other, aggregate to create the environment which characterises the city; in a complementary way it demonstrates how the virtual urban voyager can not only identify and visit individual buildings, but enquire within - to observe, understand and even handle the contents.

title	Communication of Heritage The Evolution of Digital Patrimony in the Built Environment
source	ENVISIONING ARCHITECTURE: IMAGE, PERCEPTION AND COMMUNICATION OF HERITAGE [ISBN 978-83-7283-681-6],Lodz University of Technology, 23-26 September 2015, pp.283-289
summary	This contribution deals initially with the notion of a “virtual prototype” of existing or proposed built artefacts within the computer. It provides an account of how the information and communication technologies evolved. Early applications of the technology are illustrated through the multimedia work of the ABACUS group at the University of Strathclyde. Recent applications are illustrated through the laser-scanning work of the Digital Design Studio at the Glasgow School of Art. The contribution concludes by addressing the underlying issues of digital patrimony.

title	MEDIA in MEDIATION Prospects for Computer Assisted Design Participation
source	Stellingwerff, Martijn and Verbeke, Johan (Eds.), ACCOLADE - Architecture, Collaboration, Design. Delft University Press (DUP Science) / ISBN 90-407-2216-1 / The Netherlands, pp. 121-134 [Book ordering info: m.c.stellingwerff@bk.tudelft.nl]
summary	One of the most consistent, powerful and philosophical ideas which has run like a silk thread through the short and erratic history of the development of computer aided architectural design is that of user participation in the design decision-making process. It is not an idea with which the architectural profession is particularly comfortable but it is, the authors claim, one which is central to the professional ethic and, therefore, to be its ultimate survival. Design decision-making is, if addressed properly, a hugely, complex multi-variate, multi-person process on which precious little serious research has been focused. In the late 1960's the Design Methods Group in the USA and the Design Research Society in the UK formulated paper-based models of the design process and anticipated, in some regards with un-nerving accuracy, the way in which the application of information technologies would impinge beneficially on the process of design decision-making and, therefore, on the quality of the built environment. One concept expressed at that time was as follows: the application of computers to the modelling and prediction of the cost and performance behaviour of alternative design solutions allows subjective value judgements to be better informed and more explicitly audited, and that such subjective value judgements should be made by those most affected by them, i.e. the future owners and users of buildings. This paper is devoted to the critical re-examination of this concept, on the seminal research and development which has kept the notion alive over 30 years, and, how the current advances in multimedia, virtual reality and internet access make its ubiquitous adoption inevitable: in short, Media in Mediation.

title	A Classification of Multi-Media Applications in Architecture
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.1995.155

summary	Drawing on multi-media research and development in the ABACUS Group (Department of Architecture and Building Science at the University of Strathclyde), and on work from other Institutions reported in recent ECAADE and ACADIA conferences, this paper attempts a classification of the applications of multi-media to architectural education and practice. It goes on to identify further benefits which the technology could bring to Computer Aided Architectural Design. Finally, it proposes a mechanism for sharing our multi-media products.

title	CAAD futures ‘87 [Conference Proceedings]
source	Second International Conference on Computer Aided Architectural Design Futures / ISBN 0-444-42916-6 / Eindhoven (The Netherlands), 20-22 May 1987, 261 p.
summary	The building Industry is Europe's largest single industry employing directly or indirectly 1 in 8 of the working population; yet it is fragmented, ill-organised and unprogressive. Part at least of the cause can be attributed to a failure by the architectural profession to adopt advances in Information Technology - notably Computer Aided Design. The purpose of the series of conferences on CAAD Futures is to chart a route towards a future in which the outcome of current and continuing research and development results in design tools which are acceptable to practioners and which substantially improve the quality of design decision-making and management. The papers which are printed in these proceedings make a significant contribution to our view of the future. Together they cover the range of issues which are the legitimate concern of researchers, developers, vendors, and users of CAAD software; as might be expected, they raise as many questions as they answer and they pose problems as well as reporting progress.

summary	Sustainability in the built environment is difficult to define but easy to recognise. We can observe it in those buildings which have been with us for many decades, centuries, even millennia which have survived because they have proved to be fit-for-purpose(s), cost beneficial, environmentally friendly and culturally significant. The past’s relatively slow rate of change in building technology and social need allowed the evolutionary survival of buildings which are now our sustainability icons; but what of the future? How can we design for the future in a period of accelerating social, economic and technological change to secure a sustainable built environment which will be recognised and acknowledged by following generations.

summary	The CAAD community is lucky indeed to be involved in a field of teaching and learning which is evolving so fast, which contributes so much to the theory and practice of that most complex and interesting human activity - design, and which clearly excites such a high level of interest and commitment from our students. There is much upon which the CAAD community can congratulate itself; each year the proceedings of E C A A D E, A C A D I A, C A A D Futures and now C A A D R I A expose an increasingly rich diversity of applications of the information technologies to architectural education. The purpose of this paper, however, is to highlight the relative paucity of applications which lie at the very centre of design education - i.e. the "cause and effect" of how design decisions impact upon the quality of the building.
