After all what relation do they have to sketches, plans or elevations? Or is it not so much the single diagram but the linkages that they engender, linkages that mark the teleological nature of architecture itself? Is it n...

On the Relevance of Theoretical Results to Voting System Choice

Some thirty years ago Fishburn, Niemi, Richelson, Riker and Straffin published first systematic comparisons of voting procedures using several criteria of systems performance. Still today Richelson’s set of criteria – and his list of voting systems – is perhaps the most extensive in the literature.

(English) This paper describes and develops a preliminary approach to the measurement of the information content of two-dimensional design drawings. We utilise a general method for extracting information from an encoded string of symbols as a canonical representation of architectural plans. The information content of each drawing or set of drawings is determined by measuring its entropy. We pre...
