SUMMARY:This issue of ITcon is focused on architectural design and the influence that IT, particularly CAD, has had on building form. It looks at the relationship between the evolution of CAD systems and the growing complexity of iconic buildings, and asks whether this freedom of expression results in better buildings or whether IT is more effective when applied to the processes of information modelling and communication.
