computational modelling of architecture

Apr 29, 2006 11 Replies

I have in mind a project pertaining to the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Architecture. Is there a standard modelling language for architectural design? Preferably with associated free tools.



thanks Zach



I still have a hearty laugh at your request. But, for an example of a "standard" modeling language for architectural design try Christopher Alexander's "A Pattern Language." Just note that it's a) probably not what you mean, and b) not really "standard."

Alexander's "Notes on the synthesis of Form" is also applicable. It offers a more formal (and earlier) approach to a design language.

I'm fairly sure that neither is really what he's asking about... But it should be fun to see, assuming he ever comes back.

hi zach that sounds really interesting i may have been looking at some similar things, i would be interested in taking to you, or anyone else for that matter about applications of AI in architecture.

In architecture, it's all "A" I. ;)

Yes, the standard modelling language for architectural design consists of two very basic words:

"pencil" "bumwad" *

It's up to the user to adequately /intelligently use them.

*May be replaced with 'napkin' when the moment warrants it

I would like to nominate that we call those architects who design exclusively using AI systems, 'architists'.

How come you come here to post then never come back?

:D

Maybe because his interactive subroutines are in a formative state. ;)
