Abstract
This paper presents an approach of how to build bridges between case-based and model-based reasoning. Unlike other approaches, these bridges do not intend to surmount the whole ”abstraction distance” between concrete cases and generic models in one step. Instead they introduce and use a web of supporting columns which consist of useful intermediate representations called schemata, prototypes, patterns, templates or whatever is a suitable characterisation for their functional role in the design process.
The paper begins with a short summary of our knowledge acquisition experiences in a building design domain which led to the introduction of topological schemata. It continues with some concrete examples for the representation and integrated use of these different kinds of knowledge chunks introduced and gives a short overview of the state of our current implementation. In the end the paper summarises the main benefits of integrated case-/schema-/model-based approaches.
