ArialTHEME:
VerdanaDigital
Design: the quest for new paradigms
VerdanaAs the field of
computer-aided design evolved over the last thirty years or so, it has
witnessed five changes of emphasis in research direction.
Verdana In the first stage,
the use of computers in architecture focused on the development of
computer-aided design (CAD), that is, systems that simulated the use
of drafting tools, and research was mainly concerned with the
satisfaction of designers’ ergonomic needs.
Verdana In the second stage,
there were efforts to use computer tools in non-graphical aspects of
designing, such as the use of Data Base Management Systems (DBMS) in
the quantity survey of buildings. The concern was to satisfy the
cognitive needs of designers by focusing
Verdanaon the way information
and knowledge were perceived, acquired, stored, and processed.
VerdanaIn the third stage,
the focus shifted to the development of realistic models of buildings
to permit the assessment of design proposals.
VerdanaIn the fourth stage,
the focus was on studies concerned with the encoding of architectural
knowledge into design tools (KBMS), and the discussion was whether to
go towards design automation or design supporting tools.
VerdanaIn the fifth stage,
with the advent of the Internet and the development of communication
tools, research became focused on the collaborative and social aspects
of design activity. In recent years, research also became concerned
with the exploration of the physical implications of digital media in
the production of artefacts.
VerdanaToday, there is a vast
range of research interests and approaches, but the quest for new,
unifying paradigms continues.
