The Centre for Information Technology and Architecture (CITA) is publishing 'CITA works', which documents over 40 projects, events and research collaborations conducted between 2005 and 2014.
Through individual project descriptions accompanied by photographic documentation and design drawings, CITA works provides readers with insights into a design-led practice-based architectural research, which queries how computation challenges the way we think, design and build architecture.
With essays by Professor Mette Ramsgaard Thomsen (Head of CITA), and Dr. Jane Burry (Head of the Spatial Information Architecture Laboratory, RMIT) the work is contextualized within the field of digital architectural design practice. These essays also identify the emerging questions and maturing methods that continue to inform CITA's research within this and the expanding territory of architectural research. 'CITA works' contributes here to the ongoing orientation of education in design and architecture towards research based methods.
'CITA works' marks the first 10 years of the research effort of the Centre and acknowledges the institutions, practices, companies and individuals that have participated, contributed and collaborated with us along the way.
'CITA works' will be launched at the Danish Architecture Centre (DAC) on February 11th, 2016 at 17.00h. The opening will include a welcome by DAC director Kent Martinussen and introductions by Philip Beesley and Mette Ramsgaard Thomsen.
