LANGUAGE SYSTEM FOR DENOTATION OF ARCHITECTURAL FORM

计算机技术在建筑设计中的应用具有巨大的潜力，可以使设计师有更多的时间进行创造性的思考。本研究的目的是通过开发支持设计师表达建筑形式理念的语言系统来增强其潜力，通过对建筑文献中词汇的分析和实验结果，概括出表达建筑形式的语言系统的基本要求; a）用语言表达法恩斯沃思大厦的形式，以及B）本文提出了一个基于上述要求的基本模型，表示建筑形式的语言系统。该模型已作为CAD系统的一部分实现，并在实际应用中检验了其有效性。为了改进基本模型，本文还提出了语言系统的第二个模型。用人工智能语言实现了该模型。通过大量的试验，发现建筑师在建筑形式上使用的是不成文的表示法。在建筑设计中，当建筑物的框架性或不完整的表达有可能被猜测时，它们会进行形式化表达，并构造了建筑形式表示系统的子系统，以支持将形式化表达转化为计算机上的完整信息。第一个系统是保持设计建筑的框架性。第二个系统称为类比模型。该系统能从用户设计的方案中找出规律，并能推测用户在设计方案时的任务。

The utilization of computer technology in architectural design has enormous potentials to enable the designer to put more time in thinking creative thoughts. The aim of this study is to enhance the potentials by developing language system which supports the designer to express his idea of architectural form.Fundamental requirements for the language system to denote architectural form are outlined through categolyzing the vocabularies collecting from architectural literatures and as results of experiments; a) denoting the form of FARNSWORTH HOUSE by language expression and b) making a plan and elevation of FARNSWORTH HOUSE only from the language expression.A basic model which is based on the above requirements is proposed as a language system denoting architectural form. This model is implemented as a part of CAD system and is tested its efficiency in utilization.In order to improve the basic model, the second model of the language system is also was proposed. An implementation of this model is achieved by using artificial intelligence language. Through a number of tests in application of denoting the prototype roof system which has some complicated details, it is found that architects use unwritten denotation on architectural form. They abbreviate their expression when it is very common in architectural design such as a framableness of building or when it is possible to guess from incomplete expression.Subsystems of architectural form denoting system, which support to make a complete information in computer from the abbreviative expression, were constructed. First system is to keep a framableness of designed building. The second system is called an analogy model. It is able to find a kind of laws in plans which have been designed by the user of this system and to guess his assignment in designing plan.
