Today, architectural design process is influenced by emerging generative/parametric design tools and advanced manufacturing technologies. Powerful computational tools can be used to produce variations in design while maintaining the dependencies and relations between iterations. Generative technologies, such as genetic evolution (GE) and performance driven form seeking, are used by architects t...

It is noted that architects need new and quick methods designing the historic architectural styles, as well as restoring the historical urban areas particularly the Islamic ones. These designs and restorations should adapt to the basics of the Islamic style used; general concept, module and features. Smart Geometry provides advanced design concepts and increases alternative variations. Parametr...

A class of new observers in descriptor linear systems, proportional-derivative (PD) observers, are proposed. A parametric design approach for such observers is proposed based on a complete parametric solution to the generalized Sylvester matrix equation. The approach provides complete parameterizations for all the observer gains, gives the parametric expression for the corresponding left eigenv...

V.V. Migunov. The modelling of the build constructions in a CAD of the renovation of the enterprises by means of units in the drawings // Izvestiya of the Tula State University/ Ser. The parametric model of build constructions and features of design operations are described for making drawings, which are the common component of the different parts of the projects of renovation of enterprises. T...

Byzantine church design depended heavily on natural light which was used for evocative purposes. The orientation of the main axis of the church, the form of the apse and the location and size of its windows are affected by the need for sunlight to shine at the altar on a desired time and for a certain duration. Until now the process of accurately taking account of all the above parameters has b...

When dealing with muqarnas, we are actually facing a design problem that consists of three main issues that has to be considered; first is the components, second is the assembly knowledge, and finally functional knowledge. In this context Design Procedures (DP) is presented as a methodology that enhances the design capability of a parametric model to perform design variations by using shapes as...

This paper presents a novel methodology called Design Scenarios (DS) intended for use in conceptual design of buildings. DS enables multidisciplinary design teams to streamline the requirements definition, alternative generation, analysis, and decisionmaking processes by providing a methodology for building and managing requirements driven design spaces with parametric Computer Aided Design (CA...
