Announcement: DigitalFUTURES - CDRF 2026 In Sydney

[CAADRIA]

Exciting news — We are delighted to announce that the Arch_Manu [ARC Centre for Next-Gen Architectural Manufacturing] will host the 8th DigitalFUTURES International Conference on Computational Design and Robotic Fabrication (CDRF 2026) and its Masterclasses at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Sydney, Australia, in July 2026.

Under the theme “Circular Intelligence”, CDRF 2026 explores how computational design, robotics, and advanced manufacturing can drive the circular transformation of the built environment. The conference advocates for integrating digital and circular design practices within an ecological–computational framework.

While the one-week DigitalFUTURES 2026 Workshops will continue at Tongji University (CAUP) in Shanghai, the CDRF Conference will adopt an outbound model, partnering with leading international universities to expand global networks and foster cross-disciplinary innovation.

Join us in Sydney, 8–10 July 2026, to exchange ideas, showcase research, and co-create a regenerative and intelligent future for architecture through digital innovation.
