A Computational Approach to Designs and Correlative Descriptions

在过去的几年里，建筑领域的研究表明，某些类型的设计可以根据规则生成。这些设计可以从许多相互关联的多维描述来看待，其中描述规则决定了物体的特定方面和特征。例如，这些描述性规则可能从建筑物的平面、立面和剖面生成几何方面，或者可能生成与建筑物的使用或目的有关的功能方面。随着描述性规则的执行，设计将沿着许多相互关联的维度建立起来。首席研究员建议研究如何将生成设计的规则扩展到建筑领域之外。这些规则的形式特征使它们具有独立于领域的设计观点。这项研究将有助于我们对正式设计规范的理解，并可能使专家能够跨学科规范进行交流，并可能使专家能够跨学科界限进行交流，从而从多个角度产生连贯的设计。首席研究员是井。建筑设计领域的知名研究者和形状语法领域的先驱。

Over the past years, research in architecture has demonstrated that some classes of designs can be generated according to rules. These designs may be viewed in terms of a number of interrelated, multi dimensional descriptions, where descriptive rules determine specific aspects and features of the object. For example, these descriptive rules might generate geometrical aspects from the plan, elevation, and section of a building or might generate functional aspects pertaining to the use or purpose of it. As the descriptive rules are exercised, the design is built up along many interrelated dimensions. The principal investigator proposes to study how the rules for generating designs can be extended beyond the field of architecture. The formal character of these rules lend themselves to a domain independent view of design. The research will contribute to our understanding of formal design specifications and may enable specialists to communicate across disciplinary specifications and may enable specialists to communicate across disciplinary boundaries to produce designs that are coherent from multiple perspectives. The principal investigator is a well.known researcher in the field of architectural design and a forerunner in the field of shape grammars.
