title	Semantic Roomobjects for Conceptual Design Support
source	Computer Aided Architectural Design Futures 2005 [Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Computer Aided Architectural Design Futures / ISBN 1-4020-3460-1] Vienna (Austria) 20–22 June 2005, pp. 207-216
summary	The conceptual design at the beginning of the building construction process is essential for the success of a building project. Even if some CAD tools allow elaborating conceptual sketches, they rather focus on the shape of the building elements and not on their functionality. We introduce semantic roomobjects and roomlinks, by way of example to the CAD tool ArchiCAD. These extensions provide a basis for specifying the organisation and functionality of a building and free architects from being forced to directly produce detailed constructive sketches. Furthermore, we introduce consistency analyses of the conceptual sketch, based on an ontology containing conceptual relevant knowledge, specific to one class of buildings.

title	Douglas Darden’s "Sex Shop": Digital Reconstructions of the Situation of Architecture’s Dreams
source	SIGraDi 2005 - [Proceedings of the 9th Iberoamerican Congress of Digital Graphics] Lima - Peru 21-24 november 2005, vol. 2, pp. 649-654
summary	This paper explores Sex Shop, a work by Douglas Darden. Darden’s work is grounded in the tradition of the architectural fantasy and its special drawings that no longer simply represent architecture, but are the architectural experiences in and of themselves. Darden’s drawings for Sex Shop construct the project’s unique imaginative space by intensifying the terms, techniques and technologies of that tradition. The paper initially describes Darden’s practice of using a complex figural and verbal montage to construct his projects. It then discusses the drawings of the project in the context of his unique practices. It finally uses unique capacity of the digital technologies to show the transparency, simultaneity and immediacy of the layers of the figural and conceptual montage and that allow one to inhabit and experience the project in the way that Darden intended: through the mind’s dreaming eye that calls forth the impossible situation of our dreams.
