Professor Ludger Hovestadt's Institute for Computer-Aided
Architectural Design at the Eidgenoessische Technische Hochschule
(ETH) Zurich (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich) is
widely regarded as one of the world's most important institutes
currently working at the interface between architecture and
information technology. The combination of these two makes it
possible to see architecture no longer as a separate sphere of
technological reality but rather as one element of a society based
on information technology. As a universal tool, the computer
encourages one to think in terms of information structures and
systems that span individual fields. This "rethinking" of the
nature of architecture is leading to a paradigm shift at the
methodological level of design, planning, construction, and
economy. After a decade of experimentation, it has now become
possible to see information technology for architecture as the
basis for a new and energy-saving practical approach to building.
This publication presents the work of the chair for CAAD using
numerous examples - from the spectacular Monte Rosa Alpine hut of
Andrea Deplazes to the residential development of KCAP.
