| summary |
ACADIA was founded in the early 1980s with a mission, like similar initiatives (e.g. eCAADe, CAAD Futures, etc.), to disseminate knowledge on computation in architectural design, planning, and education, as well as to contribute, through computation, in shaping “humane physical environments.” Four decades later, the question ‘What is computation?’ is so ubiquitous and pervasive that it becomes elusive. Those of us old enough to remember would recall generations of pioneers eager to introduce new tools, methods, etc. to the community, as well as the resistance against ‘the digital’ in architecture. Nevertheless, from our present viewpoint computation seems to have won. Computing is everywhere, not just within academic research or the profession’s ‘avant-garde,’ but in virtually all architectural practices. If there is even an outside to computation in architecture today, it would be difficult to pinpoint. |
