Call for Workshop Proposal

From innovative toolkits and methodology, to hands-on digital crafting and responsive design, we seek to harness the collective knowledge and skillsets of architects, designers, and technologists to share and deliver to the broader community.

CAADRIA 2026 invites proposals for workshops that investigate how computational design and digital fabrication can advance this dialogue. Workshops are invited to explore computation not merely as a technical tool, but as a creative and ethical collaborator that enhances human agency and imagination in the design process. To promote inclusivity and diverse participation, workshop proposals suitable for a wide range of skills and backgrounds are encouraged.

Workshops may range from 1 to 3 days and will take place from 26 April to 28 April, 2026, and should align with the conference theme—Humanistic Computation and Intelligence and topics. Workshops will be held in-person, leveraging facilities and equipment at NYCU and optionally ROSO at Feng Chia University. Teams selected from the open call will lead an average of 6 participants (Min. 4 & Max. 10), and their outcomes will be exhibited at the CAADRIA Conference.

Submission Requirements

Workshop proposals should include the following:

• Instructor Information
  Names, affiliations, short bios, CVs, and links to previous teaching or workshop examples.
• Workshop Title and Type
  Indicate whether the workshop is technical, seminar-based, or adopts another format.
• Workshop Description
  Provide an overview of the topics covered, learning objectives, expected outcomes, required software, and any technical constraints.
• Workshop Schedule
  Indicate the duration (1~3 days), daily breakdown, and recommended hours per day (3–8).
• Participant Information
  Define the optimal number of participants, target audience, and any prerequisites.
• Equipment and Materials
  List all required software, hardware, and other necessary materials.
• Proposed Budget
  Include an itemized budget detailing anticipated costs and potential funding sources.

Important Information

• One full conference ticket is covered for the workshop lead (instructor). Up to TWO additional discounted conference tickets will be granted to assistive instructors (or TAs).
• Materials funds will be fully or partially covered, depending on the proposal and feasibility. Max. funds per workshop up to 1000 USD.
• Workshop payments are made after the workshop has been completed.
• Contact the Workshop Chair Shih-Yuan Wang at yuan@arch.nycu.edu.tw for additional information.
