Since the establishment of the CAAD Futures Foundation in 1985,
CAAD experts from all over the world meet every two years to
present and document the state of the art of research in Computer
Aided Architectural Design. Together, the series provides a good
record of the evolving state of research in this area over the last
fourteen years. The Proceedings this year is the eighth in the
series. The conference held at Georgia Institute of Technology in
Atlanta, Georgia, includes twenty-five papers presenting new and
exciting results and capabilities in areas such as computer
graphics, building modeling, digital sketching and drawing systems,
Web-based collaboration and information exchange. An overall
reading shows that computers in architecture is still a young
field, with many exciting results emerging out of both greater
understanding of the human processes and information processing
needed to support design and also the continuously expanding
capabilities of digital technology.
Product design significantly influences product cost and quality,
as well as market share and profitability of a firm. Design
projects often involve many people belonging to different
functional areas and in many organizations several design projects
may be under way at the same time. Due to this complexity,
management of design has given rise to a rich set of research
problems in management and engineering. In this volume, design is
considered as the planning and specification activity prior to
fabrication. Design determines what products will be produced, how
they will be produced, and when they will be introduced into the
market. The quality of the products and the speed with which they
are developed are significantly affected by the design process. The
design process by which a product is developed is determined by the
managerial and engineering practices, tools and techniques. This
book presents engineering and management perspectives on design.
Topics covered include: Decomposition of product development
projects; Tools and techniques for preliminary evaluation of
designs; Interface between design and manufacturing, assembly and
distribution; Design information flows, and Determination of the
scope, timing and duration of projects, and the allocation of
resources.

Long before I ever heard of Christ, or saw a white man, I had
learned from an untutored woman the essence of morality. With the
help of dear Nature herself, she taught me things simple but of
mighty import. I knew God. I perceived what goodness is. I saw and
loved what is really beautiful. Civilization has not taught me
anything better!
