Avoiding Interference Among Subsystems in Architectural Design: A Computer Supported Constraint Based Approach

小行星9313186 该项目开发了一种计算机辅助设计方法，用于建筑设计中的子系统布局。 通过使用具有嵌入式装配规则和空间布局规则的CAD程序，每个子系统设计者可以订阅这种布局方法。 该项目开发和测试基于约束技术的交互式布局程序，该程序可以编程来管理和执行不同的布局规则。 一系列的设计实验测试和评估布局方法和支持它的程序。一个设计师团队使用该程序设计一系列越来越复杂的布局，以住宅木结构建筑为例。 评估工作包括与参与者进行面谈，并由具有子系统布局经验的外部顾问进行审查。 该方法的目标是通过最小化不同子系统（供水、供电和通风的管道、导管和电线）的设计者之间的空间干扰冲突来支持协同设计。 该方法将子系统的放置限制在预先分配的空间区域中，将干扰冲突限制在可以通过预定修复解决的可预测位置。 它允许设计团队成员独立并行工作，知道他们各自的设计可以轻松集成，从而支持协作设计。

9313186 Gross The project develops a computer aided design method for laying out subsystems in building designs. By using a CAD program with embedded assembly rules and spatial layout rules, each subsystem designer can subscribe to this layout method. The project develops and tests and interactive layout program based on constraint techniques that can be programmed to manage and enforce different sets of layout rules. A series of design experiments test and evaluate the layout method and the program that supports it. A team of designers use the program to design a series of increasingly complex layouts using residential wood frame buildings as an example. evaluation includes interviews with the participants and reviews by external consultants with experience in subsystem layout. The objective of the method is to support cooperative design by minimizing spatial interference conflicts among the designers of different subsystems the pipes, ducts and wires that supply water, electricity, and ventilation. The method restricts the placement of subsystems into preallocated spatial zones, restricting interference conflicts to predictable locations that can be resolved with predetermined fixes. It supports cooperative design by allowing members of a design team to work independently and in parallel knowing that their respective designs can easily be integrated.
