Paper title: Integrative knowledge-based design systems: a view
Authors: Petrovic I
Summary: The paper describes a recent project which objective was the redesign of GIMSEX-PERT, an existing architectural knowledge-based design system developed in 1987. Itscritical generative problems appeared to be the rigid structure and limited evaluationcriteria. The project's outcome is DESTOOLS, based on the "object-oriented-methodology", inspired by the traditional trial-and-error approach. It includes a set of interchangeable design methods that can be applied interactively by any desired sequence,producing or transforming a GIMS Building System object. Such "moderately-loose" sys-tem structure offers flexibility in use, avoids pitfalls of knowledge-based design systemswith rigid structure, and is applicable in design research, education and practice.
