| summary |
One of the objectives of research in computer-aided design in architecture has been to make computer tools or instruments for architectural design, not just drafting. There has been
work presented at ACADIA and other conferences related to artificial intelligence, data bases, shape grammars, among others.
In all of these cases, existence of a computer language in one
form or another is implied.
The purpose of this paper is to argue that the progress in the
development of intelligent design systems (IDS) is closely linked to
the progress of the languages used to implement such systems. In
order to make the argument, we will adopt an approach of first
specifying the characteristics of an IDS in terms of a conceptual
framework of computer languages in a CAD system in general,
and what it means to develop a machine-understandable language for architectural CAD in particular. The framework is useful
for classifying research projects and for structuring a research
agenda in architectural CAD.
