ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN CONFERENCE

ARCHDESIGN 15
ON CURRENT TRENDS AND DESIGN METHODOLOGIES

Contemporary architectural design constitutes multiple layers in terms of

methods, digital technologies, representation, construction techniques and
marketing. From single objects to apartment blocks, from restoration to the
recent digital design technologies, from construction techniques to new ma-
terials, architecture needs to be reconsidered in terms of methodology. The
conference aims to focus on current trends, different methods on design in gen-
eral, analysis of single buildings and projects and contemporary issues related
to design, representation and construction.
