ACADIA '92

October 1-4


Charleston, South Carolina

Hosted by the College of Architecture at Clemson University,
the 12th annual conference of The Association for Computer Aided
Design in Architecture will be held on the campus of the University
of Charleston, South Carolina.  The conference will feature
discussions which focus on both educational and practical issues
in computer-aided architectural design; also included are tours,
vendor exhibits and book displays.

Clemson University is a State University, as is the University
of Charleston.  Clemson is located some 200 miles from Charleston
in the foothils of the Blue ridge Mountains; the College of
Architecture maintains the Clemson Center at Charleston in order
to provide an urban experience for its students and faculty
