Computer Aided Intelligent Modeling in Architectural Design

Abstract: The article discusses the problems, lines of research and developments that can be expected in the near future. On the basis of an example set in the near future we propose the development a new type of tool and discuss the research problems and issues involved. Computer-aided intelligent simulation is identified as the new frontier for the knowledge-based assistant (KBA), a tool now widely accepted by researchers and scholars working in the sector. Even in such a restricted field as simulation, the ability to leam from examples, to draw analogies and to try out tentative solutions so as to derive knowledge from new behavioural mechanisms constitute the elements that will in ali probability characterize research in the sector in the immediate future.
