Além da missão ACADIA de facilitar a comunicação eo pensamento crítico sobre o uso de computadores na arquitetura, com um foco específico sobre o impacto da Informática na educação e como pensar e de computação, em especial o conceito de Parametricism *, está prestes a evoluir o pensamento do design e do futuro da prática arquitetônica. Em um tipo de pragmatismo radical paramétricos, convidamos para reuniões, participar condocumentos e debates da Conferência Regional de ACADIA que o projeto questiona uma fronteira paramétrica que tanto se dedica e supera o desempenho do SPC, e outros critérios reguladores, na busca inovação em design e elegância. Longe de ser apenas um exercício acadêmico, nosso objetivo é que a conferência se tornar uma interface de bate-papo entre os profissionais, educadores, pesquisadores, designers e estudantes.

Is set to complement ACADIA’s mission of facilitating communication and critical thinking regarding the use of computers in architecture, with a specific focus on the impact of education and how computation and computational thinking, particularly the concept of Parametricism*, is poised to evolve design thinking and the future of architectural practice.  In a type of radical parametric pragmatism, we invite sessions, papers, and discussions to the ACADIA Regional Conference that projectively interrogate a parametric frontier which both engages and surpasses fulfillment of SPC, and other regulatory criteria, in the pursuit of design innovation and elegance. Far from a solitary academic endeavor, it is our goal that the conference becomes a conversational interface between practitioners, educators, researchers, designers, and students.
