| summary |
This research domain fits in the systemic decomposition/classification of the building organism, specifically focusing on the topic of ‘design entity’ computation models. Entities discussed are those regarding architectural spaces, building components and design process procedures for an AECO project. The paper looks at the progress achieved by the academia and industry in the digital representations of CAAD entities, both tangible and intangible, by reviewing their limits and potentials starting from the second half of the last century on. In order to contribute to the enhancement of existing building modelling standards in this field, we discuss the potentialities offered by multi-inheritance formalism, overcoming the limits of traditional static object-oriented representation, like the IFC standard. Certain object-oriented programming languages allow for multiple inheritance, which consents an object or class to inherit characteristics from many ’parent’ classes or superclasses. It is not the same as single inheritance, in which a class or an entity can only inherit from one specific class or entity at a time. That is, a design entity can take on different meanings depending on the context and domain of the actor using it, or it could have multifunctional uses. Recent most advanced research proposed the ’polysemantic’ entity that could have multiple superclasses at the same time. By analysing in deep computable project models, we schematize a theoretical framework where a new knowledge-based system synergically work with the basic commercial models – IFC-based – by means of ontologies and graphic systems, to enable semantic reasoning. As a result we aim at providing some helps for designers, software developers and academicians to power the CAAD entity representations of the tools they use. |
