CITA investigates new digital practice in architecture. Our research and teaching focus on complex modelling, fabrication and material design.

[Centre for IT & Arch @CITAcph]

Delighted to share our 2nd volume examining the future of the information model. #CITA_ComplexModelling unfolds over 5 chapters, 12 projects & critical essays.
Will post glimpses each week.
