In the past decade, artificial intelligence (AI) has taken another leap forward, with advances in computational power, the availability and widespread use of big data further deepening this trend. The point at which AI approaches or even surpasses human capabilities seems increasingly imminent. This trend is posing new challenges to the traditional disciplines of architecture, planning, and design. As AI large models demonstrate dominance and creativity in complex tasks, it is an urgent issue for architects to redefine computational design in the intelligent era and to attempt to use intelligent tools to integrate or disrupt established paradigms.
Whether it's the embodied intelligence of buildings, the inferential intelligence of urban planning, the perceptive intelligence of urban design, the biological intelligence of landscape gardening, or the emotional intelligence in the field of art, it's essential to speculate on new development models for each discipline under the empowerment of computational design. The explosive development of intelligent technologies urges us to re-examine the future of computational design. We hope to use the 2024 Computational Design Symposium of Computational Design Academic Committee of Chinese Architectural Society as a platform to encourage active exploration of new connotations and possibilities in computational design within the larger realms of human habitation and design, and to collectively push forward the future development of the design field. The conference will be held on November 16-17, 2024 at Tongji University.
Paper Review Notification
1.Review Results
We extend our heartfelt thanks to all scholars for supporting the 2024 Computational Design Symposium. This year, we received 146 submissions from both domestic and international scholars. After a thorough review by the Computational Design Committee, 69 papers have been accepted out of 146 submissions, resulting in an acceptance rate of approximately 40% due to limited presentation slots and fierce competition. Acceptance results have been emailed to the authors and can be checked in the Submission Center on the conference website (https://www.cdac2024.cn/). We look forward to your participation and insights at the conference. Authors whose papers were not selected are also welcome to register and attend.
2.Final Version Submission
Accepted authors should revise their papers based on feedback and submit the final version between October 9 and 12 via the conference website. The Final Version Upload page in the Submission Center will be open from 12:00 AM on October 9 to 11:59 PM on October 12, 2024. Please name your file as CDAC+QW Paper ID+Paper Title+Final Version.
As part of the Computational Design Conference's showcase of research and educational exchange, we have organized 15 workshops focusing on cutting-edge topics in computational design. These workshops will be led by esteemed faculty from renowned domestic universities. The workshops will be held from November 13-15 at the Digital Design and Robotic Construction Laboratory, Tongji University, followed by public exhibitions and presentations on November 16 and 17.
