AC 2007-934: BR: AN INTERACTIVE SOFTWARE-PROTOTYPE FOR 3D LAYOUT

As a research project implemented with graduate students from TU_____, BuildingRelations [BR] deals with the development of an interactive software prototype to support the design process: BR employs bottom-up principles of organization to generate functional layouts exhaustively enabling development of more alternatives than by means of conventional sketching methods mainly because architectural space planning is highly combinatorial, and therefore, difficult to conceive exhaustively by human search means.
