Advances in Architectural Geometry (AAG) is a conference where both theoretical and practical work linked to new geometrical developments is presented. It involves architects, engineers, computer scientists, mathematicians, software and algorithms designers and contractors. We aim at connecting researchers from architectural and engineering practices, academia and industry. AAG has become a reference both in research and in practice and is supported by the direct participation of the most renowned architectural design and engineering offices along with research laboratories.

The symposium is a biennial event. It was held first in 2008 and 2010 in Vienna, 2012 in Paris, 2014 in London, 2016 in Zurich, 2018 in Gothenburg, 2020 in Paris, and 2023 in Stuttgart.

In 2025, for the first time, AAG will take place in North America at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge, MA from 16-19th of November 2025. 

Submission Guidelines

All papers must be original, written in English, and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. We encourage papers that make original and impactful contributions to the field of architectural geometry from the perspective of design, engineering, manufacturing, computing, or a combination of these disciplines.

Papers should follow a standard research paper structure: Introduction, Literature Review, Methodology, Results, Conclusion, and should have a maximum of 4000 words and 10 figures (not including references).  Papers should be submitted as PDF documents without any identifying author names or affiliations.  There is no template document; but authors should prepare their papers with standard word processing tools.  The submission deadline for papers is 15 June 2025.

Papers will be peer reviewed by an invited scientific committee of experts through a double blind process (both authors and reviewers are anonymous to each other).  Authors of papers selected to be presented at the conference will be notified by 15 August 2025, and final edits and formatting of papers will occur after that date.  Papers will be distributed via a digital proceedings at the conference and will be publicly available after the conference concludes.
