Decision Support Systems in Architecture—A Future Perspective

The benefits of design decision support systems (DDSSs) in the architectural planning context have been proven research and are increasingly used practice. sense purpose apparent. weighing most diverse ideas approaches required for problems that cannot be solved unambiguously characterized by complex, open issues tasks, coupled with contradictory criteria. DDSSs planners/decision-makers objective information to decision-making process well-founded data statements. This is becoming necessary, especially given complex construction thus difficult-to-predict effects decisions. Taking this maxim into account, however, also reveals challenges context, as well immense potential fields application. Building on these issues, article presents a perspective DDSSs. paper discusses current focus advancements such systems, highlighting tools still face, provides vision future from reactive proactive assistance.
