DADA 2015
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE AND EXHIBITION
——The 5th DigitalFUTURE Shanghai Summer Events
（Shanghai: 27 June -5 July, 2015）
Workshop Registration & Call for
Workshop Proposals
数字工厂DIGITAL FACTORY
The 2nd series academic events of DADA is
organized by Digital Architecture Design Association (DADA) in China, College
of Architecture and Urban Planning (CAUP) in Tongji University and Tongji
Architectural Design Group (TJAD) Co., Ltd., co-organized by Architecture
School in Tsinghua University and School of Architecture and Urban Planning in
Nanjing University. The event includes Workshop, International Conference and
Exhibition. It is the premier biennial events in China for the presentation of
new advances and research results in the fields of Digital Design and
Fabrication. The international conference will be held in CAUP, Tongji
University. The theme of the conference will be “Digital Factory”. Any
architecture students, scholars, architects and others who are interest in the
field are welcome to register and participate in the events.
I. Theme
As China is reaching the mature point of
urbanization, architecture industry, which was the leading industry in national
economy, faces the two great challenges: 1. The emergence of new building
technology and building materials that will change the architecture design as
well as building method; 2. The sustainability of building technology and
construction method under the increasing pressure of energy shortage. With the
help of advance digital simulation based on the numerical control platform,
digital architecture design and fabrication itself has the unparalleled
advantages compare to the traditional fabrication method. As an important part
of the whole digital architecture system-“parametric-design-form-fabrication”,
it does not only directly incorporate the accurate input of environmental,
behavior, structural and material parameter, but also can dock quantified data
and coordinate development from the very beginning of design. Through the
infiltration of different parameters, the digital design methodology is
deriving to process control and manufacturing which is more associated with
architecture ontology itself.
“Digital Factory” is a necessary condition for intelligent
industrialization of architecture industry. Through the effective integration
of computer-aided design and digital manufacturing, “Digital Factory” explores
the new method of digital fabrication developed from the extraction of
performative parameter and the form generated from architectural form finding.
Architecture for the future is becoming
customized, digital, prefabricated and industrialized. Through the docking with
digital factory to directly produce and assemble, it will drive the
revolutionary transformation of architectural paradigm.
The mission of “Digital Factory” is to
unite the avant-guard architects and institutes in digital design and
fabrication. It is organized by DADA and supported by CAUP, Tongji University
and the architecture school in Tsinghua University. The aim is to discuss the
challenges as well as opportunities that digital design and architecture
industrialization will bring to the traditional design mode.
