ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF SCHEMATIC DESIGN CAD THAT SUPPORTS ADJUSTMENT OPERATIONS AMONG MULTIPLE REPRESENTATION MODELS

摘要

Designers generally develop their designs as processes of adjusting and reconciling design decisions explored using various types of representation models that were developed, in parallel fashion, to study varying subjects such as space planning, building bulk, or structural system. Though the most CAD allow users to define multiple representation models, they have lacked utilities that support adjusting operations among them. It is the objective of this study to propose a model of design process and a prototype CAD for schematic design stage. Reviewing a case study, the authors assessed the advantages of the system use and subjects for the future studies.
