eCAADe2025 @ Ankara, Türkiye
Confluence
01-05 September 2025
eCAADe2025 will be hosted by Middle East Technical University, Department of Architecture on 01-05 September 2025.
Theme: Confluence
The eCAADe (Education and Research in Computer Aided Architectural Design in Europe) community stands on the verge of a confluence, a dynamic and interactive landscape where different flows of paradigms converge or diverge, shaping thoughts, practices and approaches in education and praxis. With the ever-changing quality of these subject matters, discussing and staying ahead of potential backwardness is necessary. This need shows itself best with terms such as digital, which are widely used. Still, with each new addition of figurations, just like how digital as a word mentioned before presents one with exciting new opportunities such as VR, AR, AI, BIM, and all soon-to-emerge possibilities, they become evermore vague and insufficient to embrace these figurations within their respective contexts completely. The dichotomies and binary state of things we are accustomed to are also metamorphosing, gaining more depth and numerous other sides. Opposing concepts, which include analogue/digital, virtual/real, natural/artificial, etc., prove almost noncompliant with supporting today’s concerns. Apart from the issue of terms and their timeliness, a refreshed outlook on this emerging landscape should be brought up better to evaluate the ongoing efforts of the eCAADe sphere.
eCAADe 2025 welcomes all scholars and practitioners while providing an open and flexible platform for every conversation in the context of confluence.
