Abstract
The objective of this study is an attempt t.o define a new design method merging the introduction and continuous development of computer technology in the field of building construction. The project will introduce an integrated computer system based on current state-o f-the-art technology and implementation of it through two case studies which illustrate different applications. In addition this thesis will demonstrate the potentials of the system as an analytic tool and a drawing aid for teaching architectural design as well as for the professional practitioner. The proposed system combines essentially a drafting system, a data base processing system and a visual information system, which together furnish cross-referenced graphic and numeric information of any entity (buildings, sites, technical specifications, land use information,etc.). More than a design aid, the system proposes through suitable information sources, retrieval and visualization of images stored in a. relational data base, using state-of-the-art emerging video and computer technologies.
