The book "Computer Aided Architectural Design Futures 2005" offers a comprehensive insight into the dynamic development of Computer Aided Architectural Design (CAAD). It highlights the role of architects, software developers, researchers, and technologists in an ever-changing environment where CAAD tools have become essential instruments for professionals in design disciplines. The publication addresses the integration of information and communication technology into the architectural design process and demonstrates how innovative approaches and combinations can emerge when a solid understanding of architectural design is paired with a clear vision for the use of ICT. The contributions gathered in this book come from leading experts and provide rigorous, high-quality research and development work that considers both the past and present of CAAD while offering forward-looking perspectives.
