Although numerous mechanisms for promoting software reuse have been proposed and implemented over the years, most have focused on the reuse of implementation code. There is much conjecture and some empirical evidence, however, that the most effective forms of reuse are generally found at more abstract levels of software design. In this paper we discuss software reuse at the architectural level ...

Since nature of architecture is quite different from that of other fields of study, the criteria used forjudging projects in this field continuously undergo some changes. On the other hand, because of the undeniable role ofhuman factors in judging the projects, there is always a percentage of deviation from the standard given the interestsof the judging committee. The standards of judging archi...

the architectural education along the way of creativity has often involved with the formal and physical aspects of design as an effort to read architectural artifacts through its mere external appearances. this article, however, aims to step beyond the manifestation of conventional perspectives on visual aspects of built environment. that is, an act of interpreting the architectural spaces thro...

When drafting new buildings, architects make intensive use of existing 3D models including building elements, furnishing, and environment elements. These models are either directly included into the draft or serve as a source for inspiration. To allow efficient reuse of existing 3D models, shape retrieval methods considering the specific requirements of architects must be developed. Unfortunate...
