Abstract
Context can be described as the totality of ideas, situations and information that (a) related to, (b) provide the origins for, and (c) influence our response, perspective or judgment of a thing. Design always takes place in a context. However, current Computer Aided Architectural Design (CAAD) systems don't have a way to represent design knowledge associated with context. This thesis presents a computational model, called Context Modeling System (CMS), in which design context is modeled. Using this model, designers can define and prioritize design context. A prototype, based on CMS and rule-based systems in the field of Artificial Intelligence, is also presented.
