COMPUTATIONAL SITUATED LEARNING IN DESIGN Application to Architectural Shape Semantics

This paper presents the development of a computational process model of Situated Learning in Design (SLiDe). Situated learning is based on the notion that knowledge is more useful when it is learned in relation to its immediate and active context, ie its situation, and less useful when it is learned out of context. The usefulness of design knowledge is in its operational significance based upon...

nature and its role in architectural design

nature and the attitude towards nature have been two fundamental concepts historically used in interpretation of world, science and arts resulting to various definitions during different periods of human thought.nature and the attitude towards nature have been two fundamental concepts historically used in interpretation of world, science and arts resulting to various definitions during differen...

Introduction to Roof garden Strategy in Architectural Design and City

The roof garden has great functioning of smoothing the shortage of land resource in the city and making use of the land resource diversity and efficiently. The modern era, following the fast development of economic and society, people have a high claim to green roof or roof garden. It is an efficient and reasonable way to exploit the open space the roof of the building. From the classic roof ...

Evaluation of Shape Grammar Rules for Urban Transport Network Design

Shape grammar rules are increasingly applied in urban simulation. Even though many network 1 design standards propose shape grammar rules, little is known of the measurable impact of these 2 rules on the performance of transport networks. This paper provides a general definition of 3 shape grammar rules for transport network design. Different rules are evaluated regarding a 4 comprehensive obje...
