Architecturally, the Seljuqs' dominion makes a significant shift from the Pre-Islamic Sassanid squinches into a sophisticated transition mechanism employed to change the walls of a square chamber to an octagonal base to set a dome which this initiated a new construction methodology to hybridize the previous experiences of Sassanid domes with new architectural tendencies since the previous under...

Drawings have replaced buildings as the primary product of the architect since the Renaissance, in what appears to be an attempt to elevate the status of the master builder to that of a scientific or artistic desi...

A recurring theme in the literature on technology and organizations is the concept of mirroring, which posits a duality between technological and organizational design decisions. In this paper we highlight a second, orthogonal duality between components and interfaces: designers of both products and organizations must decide what information to hide within component boundaries and what to expos...

The interest of the present research is focused on knowledge mechanisms in the spatial domain. Given a space and a set of entities the goal is understanding the structure of intelligent analysis and classification of architectural design outcomes in terms of complexity: see an architectagent's ability of detecting continuous/non-continuous design items within a spatial set contingent on the nee...
