Abstract

Case-based design reasoning provides support for design of buildings and products. This paper describes a computer based system that uses case-based reasoning for design of spatial aspects of buildings. We describe the processes of case adaptation where an existing design case is dimensionally and topologically adapted to suit a new design problem, and case combination where parts of more than one design case are combined to develop a new design solution.
