This site contains various websites of courses and seminars which the independent professorship for Architecture and CAAD at ETH Zürich has held during the last couple of years.

Most of them were prepared for the elective CAAD course. In this course the computer is not just a production tool, but also a communication medium: Besides teaching the principles of various modeling and visualisation techniques, testing new models of computer supported collaborative design is a primary goal. The web-interfaces of the database environments, developed for these courses enable a direct and intense exchange of ideas and expertise among the participants.

More than fivehundred students have taken these courses over the last two years. All of their works are accessible - you are most welcome to have a look at them, now.
