| summary |
It is suggested that expert systems storing the design
knowledge of particular offices in terms of stylistic and
construction practice provide a means to take considerably
more advantage of information technology than currently.
The form of the knowledge stored by such expert systems
is a building representation in the form of rules stating how
components are placed in three-dimensional space
relative to each other. By describing how Frank Lloyd
Wright designed his Usonian houses it is demonstrated
that the proposed approach is very much in the spirit of
distinguished architectural practice. To illustrate this idea,
a system for assembling three-dimensional architectural
details is presented with particular emphasis on the nature
of the rules and the form of the building components
created by the rules to assemble typical details. The nature
of the rules, which are a three-dimensional adaptation of
Stiny's shape grammars, is described. In particular, it is
shown how the rules themselves are structured into
different classes, what the nature of these classes is and
how specific rules can be obtained from more general
rules. The rules embody a firm's collective design experience in detailing. As a conclusion, an overview is
given of architectural practice using rule-based representations. |
