The Faculty of Architecture, Bialystok University of Technology warmly invites architectural researchers to attend the 1st International Conference On Doctoral Research in the field of Architectural Computing 
"Digital Architectural Research - DARe". 
The conference will take place on June 3rd - 5th 2020 at the Bialystok University of Technology, Bialystok, Poland. 
The aim of the conference is to enable doctoral researchers to exchange and discuss concepts and developments of their research in the field of architectural computing / design digital media. 

Digital media and computation have already permeated probably all spheres of architecture - from drafting, design processes, through methodologies, to communication, education, fabrication and construction. It becomes obvious that computing brings new levels to overall reality of design. Therefore it rises as a very wide and exciting sphere for research. Critical reflection on the influences and possibilities that digital media and computation approaches bring to architecture, seems to be crucial for the development of the field, through the production of new knowledge.

One of the most interesting aspect of undertaking research in this area is that it does not focus on "what is" knowledge, it rather explores new possibilities, facts, processes and products, that did not exist before. Therefore design computing research is focused on change - in design tools, methods, concepts and outcomes. This specific feature of the field also influences and changes doctoral research - in both: content and structures of the research projects, as well as organisational frameworks within which they are conducted.
