tn02-006: AUTOMATED CLASSIFICATION OF CAAD-RELATED PUBLICATIONS...

This study has introduced the Art in a new vision to increase the understanding of Saudi Art at the International level. The focus was on architecture patterns (in Al_Haram Al_Madini) and literature (poems, speeches). It is achieved through introducing the Art through the eyes of symmetry as new concept embedded in the art. The aims of the study are: 1. to explore the characteristics of Saudi A...

This paper describes a system to produce space layout topologies for architectural plans using an evolutionary approach. The layout specification is defined as a set of topological and directional constraints, which are used as a fitness function in the evolutionary system. The halfplane representation is used to represent the genotypes in the evolutionary system, for both arrangements of halfp...

An efficient indexing of past solutions is crucial to case-based design (CBD) systems performing complex retrieval on large case-bases. This paper suggests a hybrid approach to the indexing and retrieval of design precedents. The suggested approach accounts for the issues of classification manifested in architectural discussions on type and CBD literature. The indexing scheme integrates descrip...

This essay focuses on the fields of architectural documentation and digital representation. We present a research paper concerning the development of an information system at the scale of architecture, taking into account the relationships that can be established between the representation of buildings (shape, dimension, state of conservation, hypothetical restitution) and heterogeneous informa...

The question, ‘where does information structure fit in the structure of a grammar’ is an architectural question, and different grammar architectures give different answers. In this paper I will give one possible answer, based on Role and Reference Grammar [RRG] (Van Valin 2005, Mairal et al. 2012), a monostratal (non-derivational) linking theory. In RRG there is a direct linking between the sem...

the interaction between architecture and culture, defined in human and built-environment relationships, challenges both theoretical and practical fields of architecture. to have an affective confrontation to this challenge, it is more important to re-define both sides of this interaction, culture and architecture. cultural context should represent in architecture. there are some movements in th...
