People’s knowledge does not only consist of abstract, generally applicable principles, but also of concrete, specific experiences. Within the field of Architecture, experience can be gained by several means: (1) architects having designed themselves; (2) architects visiting buildings :md experiencing them; or (3) architects browsing magazines, bonks, periodicals and articles for drawings, pictures and texts about existing projects. One reasoning strategy dial lias recently received much attention in the Artificial intelligence (AI) community, known as case-based reasoning (CBR), lakes the experiential approach to problem solving, ’[’he main idea is thai analogies can be drawn between past situations, generally known as caMJLi. and the current problem being solved. Because of designers’ wide use of cxpciieniial knowledge, C’HR can be ii helpful strategy lo use in building computational loo!-; that aid designer.
The (.eneral aim of this thesis is lo investigate am! gain knowledge about if and how Case-Hased Design (CBD) could be usable as a tool for architects.
To define a computational framework able to assist architects throughout the design process, it was essential first lo examine some of the llmdatnenlal aspects of the process, in order to understand which of its parts lend themselves to computational assistance. Hence an investigation about the nature of architectural design problems and how architects handle them was first carried out. This was followed by an analysis of the different types rescaidicrs divide design into; in addition lo a thorough examination of the different processes and methods architects utilize lo produce creative designs.
Another subject that required our attention before being able to design our planned application (M()Ni;o) was the technology of case based reasoning itself; thus the analysis of CUR processes, components and uses was conducted. Applying CBR within the architectural domain was given more attention. First we reviewed what an architectural case contains, how it is presented and represented. This was followed by a survey of previously developed CBI) applications’with an analysis of their abilities and limitations.
The concepts presented through the thesis have been implemented in a system called MoNi’O, which is meant lo reduce the lime architects spend to look for similar cases to the problem they have at hand.
