I am a reasearch assistant getting a little frustrated...I'm looking
for information about how information and computer and digital technology
are changing the design process in firms and schools and how these
technologies may be changing the way we look at our world.
I'm looking for someone is (or knows others) doing research in this topic
who may be willing to discuss the issue and share resources
Hi:
I am a practising architect; involved with computers for
the last 10 years or so. I have developed a new
classification system for architectural elements that
I believe help in succintly representing architectural
designs.
I am of the opinion that unless we find a clearcut way
to store architectural information objectively, we may
not make much headway in making computers actually
contributing to the design process.
This taxonomy has been implemented in an unconventional
computer Aided design software. This work has been
taken up by a software company; Tangent Software, and
you can get more details at:
http://www.wco.com/~tangent/tad
You could even register yourself for a free copy of
the beta version of the software.
This way of representing architecture on computers has
helped my practice considerably, and that
aspect may interest you.
I would appreciate if you can give some feedback on the
same; especially the classification system - which is
available as one of the links on the main page.
Ciao
Sabu Francis
