Design Analytics

设计是数据，也就是说，它是对将基于设计制作的工件的描述。传统上 ** 此类数据仅限于视觉表示、规格和合同文件等。今天，设计公司产生了更多的数据，但没有足够的工具来从这些数据中获得洞察力。然而，“可视化分析”领域恰恰为这种分析工作提供了概念和系统。拟议的研究旨在分析和可视化设计数据，即设计，其替代方案，项目文档以及从建筑物及其设置中收集的数据。这些数据集合 ** 包含几何设计数据，以及越来越多的以结构化形式描述流程、合同和设计性能的大量数字和文本数据。该研究将设计，原型 ** 和评估原型映射这些数据到几何设计信息，反之亦然。它结合了视觉分析和设计领域，我们称之为“设计分析”。"

A design is data, that is, it is a description of the artifact that will be made based on the design. Traditionally**such data have been limited to, for example, visual representations, specifications and contractual documents.**Today, design firms generate vastly more data, but have inadequate access to tools to gain insight from such**data. Yet the field of "visual analytics" provides concepts and systems exactly for such analysis work. The**proposed research aims at the analysis and visualization of design data, that is, collections of designs, their**alternatives, project documentation, and data collected from buildings and their settings. Such data collections**contain both geometric design data, and increasingly, large amounts of numeric and textual data in both**structured form describing processes, contracts and design performance. The research will devise, prototype**and evaluate prototypes mapping such data onto geometric design information and vice versa. It combines the**fields of visual analytics and design, which combination we call "design analytics."
