| Summary: | In the early stages of the building design process not only building and site but also user activities and experiences are fonned. In this project conceptual models of some fundamental characteristics of building, site and user organisation will be developed and implemented in a prototype CAD-programme. The programming work for the prototypes is done with Smalltalk on Macintosh computers. The tests of the prototype includes spatial coordination of the three systems. The models are based on an ontological framework which is also used for organising the basic object structure of the prototype CAD program. In the design process, information about the design object is gradually developed. Starthg from certain desired properties, the whole and its parts are fonned by successive increase of detail. The project investigates how the data structure of the design object can be formed to serve this working method. The project also discusses possible future developments. One important question is how these models maybe used in the development of the brief and in the building management stage. |
