Tools for Designing Climate Responsive Buildings (1990)
article⁄Tools for Designing Climate Responsive Buildings (1990)
abstract⁄The term ‘ComputerAided Design’ for some people is reserved exclusively for drafting systems that provide a 2 or 3dimensional graphic representation of a building. But many other issues bear on the final form of a building, issues that initially cannot be represented in a drawing of that building. These issues include thermal performance, lighting, economics, behavioral factors, acoustics, structural safety, etc. Architects in the future will have a whole kit of computeraided design tools to help them address all of these nongraphic issues. A ‘design tool’ might be defined as something that helps an architect make a better design decision. But the development of design tools also has a hidden agenda they leave the architect with a richer understanding of the underlying issues involved. In other words, they also teach.
