Design Philosophy: Implications for Computer Integration in the Practice of Architecture (1992)
article⁄Design Philosophy: Implications for Computer Integration in the Practice of Architecture (1992)
abstract⁄The growing complexities of modern environments and the socioeconomic pressures to maintain efficient designbuild cycles have forced architects to seek new tools and methods to help them manage the processes that have developed as a result of new knowledge in architectural design. This trend has accelerated in the past few decades because of developments in both cognitive and computer sciences. In allied disciplines, the introduction and use of comPuters have significantly improved design practices. Yet at best, in disciplines such as architectural design, computational aids have attained marginal improvements in the design process despite efforts by universities in the professional education of architects.
