A Graphical Language for Generating Architectural Forms
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a collaborative research effort between the faculties of Computer Science and Architecture, investigating a special-purpose visual language to be used to generate architectural forms. This language forms part of a larger system intended to automate the process of generating architecturally designed houses. The rules which can be specified using the language described here are used to prune a set of floor plans according to specifications provided by an architect. They are intended to replace rules written in Prolog, allowing the architect to directly specify and understand the rules.

The architectural form is affected by numerous factors including functional, economic, socio-cultural, climatic as well as structural requirements and stability. Among these factors, structure receives considerable attention as it has a critical role in generating form and its stability. Stability has always been an essential property of architectural forms, thus it is crucial to study structur...
متن کاملThe Role of Algorithmic Applications in the Development of Architectural Forms (Case Study:Nine High-Rise Buildings)
The process of developing architectural forms has greatly been changed by advances in digital technology, especially in design tools and applications. In recent years, the advent of graphical scripting languages in the design process has profoundly affected 3D modeling. Scripting languages help develop algorithms and geometrical grammar of shapes based on their constituent parameters. This stud...
متن کاملApplying Generative Modeling Procedure to Explore Architectural Forms
Computer generated 3D forms using generative procedures have matured in the last decade and now considered as a tangible approach for realizing architectural design ideas. As fascinating as the approach might be, it is still lacking actual application in the early architectural design process. There are many reasons for this, among them: it has many implications over the architectural design pr...
متن کاملProcess Representation Using Architectural Forms: Accentuating the Positive
The PSL (Process Specification Language) project is creating a standard language for process specification to serve as an interlingua to integrate multiple process−related applications throughout the manufacturing life cycle. This interchange language is unique due to the formal semantic definitions (the ontology) that underlie the language. The PSL ontology is organized modularly with a small ...
متن کاملSemi-automatic Modelling of Building Façades with Shape Grammars Using Historic Building Information Modelling
This paper outlines a new approach for generating digital heritage models from laser scan or photogrammetric data using Historic Building Information Modelling (HBIM). HBIM is a plug-in for Building Information Modelling (BIM) software that uses parametric library objects and procedural modelling techniques to automate the modelling stage. The HBIM process involves a reverse engineering solutio...
