Computer-aided three-dimensional interactive application (CATIA) was originally developed by Dassault Systems to design and manufacture complex geometries for jet fighters. Lately, it has been adopted as a multi-platform 3-D product life cycle management solution and is used widely as a design platform in several industries, including the automobile, aerospace, ship-building, and consumer elect...

This paper describes an intelligent computer-aided architectural design system (ICAAD) called ICADS. ICADS encapsulates different types of design knowledge into independent “critic” modules. Each “critic” module possesses expertise in evaluating an architect’s work in different areas of architectural design and can offer expert advice when needed. This research focuses on the representation of ...

It is true that the commercial applications used in architectural offices have mainly focused on CAD as a drafting tool, although the primary functions of computers in architecture have been changed from the computer-aided drafting to its 2D or 3D graphic representation and in recent years to the collaborative design among different specialists, such as architects, engineers, construction manag...

This paper outlines a possible locus for knowledge-based systems in computer-aided architectural design education. It commences with a review of computer-aided architectural design and knowledge-based systems. It then proposes their use at various stages in CAAD education. Introduction There are a number of paradigms to consider in computer-aided architectural design education. We could think o...

This paper proposes the application of a situated learning approach in designing integrated with a conventional CAD system. The approach is implemented in SLiDe (Situated Learning in Designing) and integrated as SLiDe-CAAD, to provide interactive support in designing exemplified within the composition of architectural shapes. SLiDe-CAAD is proposed to assist in exploring the design space for va...
