About ACADIA

ACADIA was formed for the purpose of facilitating communication and critical thinking regarding the use of computers in architecture, planning, and building science. The organization is committed to the research and development of computational methods that enhance design creativity and that aim to contributing to the construction of humane physical environments. A particular focus is placed on education and the software, hardware and pedagogy involved in academia. Please visit the main ACADIA website for more information.
