PRARMETRIC MODELLING AS A DESIGN REPRESENTATION IN ARCHITECTURE: A PROCESS ACCOUNT

Parametric Modelling as a Design Representation in Architecture: A Process Account

Disciplines outside of engineering, for instance, architecture, are adopting parametric modelling as a design representation. This paper reports on three aspects of the adoption process, which is largely being conducted through multi-day workshops outside of formal university course settings. Fist, the structure and process of such workshops may be a model for interdisciplinary learning and uni...

Adaptation as a Design Method in Architecture, Case Study: a House at Martha’s Vineyard

concept in architecture; a necessity in design process and challenges of its education in architecture colleges

nowadays, numerous realities in the field of architecture has gathered architects’ concentration; this has alienated designer’s attention from theoretical thinking in the initial stages of design process. new considerations such as human attitude and orientation in urban areas, the environmental impacts, behavioral relations between man and building, considering sociology and psychology in crea...

Modelling Constraint Solver Architecture Design as a Constraint Problem

Designing component-based constraint solvers is a complex problem. Some components are required, some are optional and there are interdependencies between the components. Because of this, previous approaches to solver design and modification have been ad-hoc and limited. We present a system that transforms a description of the components and the characteristics of the target constraint solver i...

Citation as a Representation Process

The presented work proposes a novel approach to model the citation rate. The paper begins with a brief introduction into informetrics studies and highlights drawbacks of the contemporary approaches to modeling the citation process as a product of social interactions. An alternative modeling framework based on results obtained in cognitive psychology is then introduced and applied in an experime...
