Acadia 2014 Design Agency

Proceedings of the 34th Annual Conference of the Association for Computer Aided Design in Architecture

The Proceedings of the ACADIA 2014: Design Agency international conference contains the peer reviewed research papers presented at the 34th annual conference of the Association for Computer Aided Design in Architecture. Presentations by keynote speakers and ACADIA Award recipients are also included. This volume brings together a spectrum of research and creative practice currently occurring within the ACADIA community. This combined research reflects new paradigms that are redefining contemporary architecture. Specialized computational design topics include cloud organization, big data, global project delivery, and new forms of collective intelligence in design, architecture, urbanism, fabrication and media arts. The event is supported by the combined research networks of the University of Southern California, University of California Los Angeles and Southern California Institute of Architecture.
