Volume 4 issue 1 - Selected Papers from the ARCC/EAAE 2006 International Conference

emerging research + design
As we advance into the 21st century, the speed at which our profession, society and the physical environment are being modified is accelerating. The information (and misinformation) age presents us with concepts and physical options that demand our attention. Within this context, to understand the complexities of our environment and to create meaningful and responsive architecture demands that we search within ourselves and within the wealth of knowledge available. More often than not, we must generate or provide new knowledge in order to proceed with the design initiatives that we wish to explore and contribute to the architecture and environments that we create. The mission of this Research Conference is to reveal important and significant approaches that merge research & design and to engage the participants in how this critical relationship can be successfully formed.
