Host: Vienna
University of Technology, Austria.
Organisers: Bob
Martens, Helena Linzer and Andreas Voigt.
This conference focussed on new challenges in following areas:
• Digital
Design Process
• Spatial Modeling
• Collaborative Teamwork
and their promotion of new directions for computation in the design professions resp. their relationship to the educational function.
As most of us have observed in the past few years, we have begun to emerge as intermediaries between education, practice and the new technologies. We have begun to provide new computational research orientations to the generation of knowledge about design and planning process. Over and above acting as a medium of access to tools, we have begun to function in new roles in our schools as strengthening the presence of theories and the intellectual content of design and planning education. The emergence of new media and techniques are further influencing our function as interpreters of the conceptual implications of change and development.
