Architectural Spatial Retrieval And Generating Based On CBR And HTML5

With the development of Computer-aided Architectural Design (CAAD)summarized, the difference between architectural “shape” and “form” analyzed, andthe phenomenon of parametric application restricted in finding shape revealed, thisarticle proposes the principal of architectural digital technology as, adaptivelyapplying information technology into architectural design, and making design processmore efficient and pleasant.Instead of the traditional architactural design process by reading huge amounts ofbooks and keeping boring thinking, architects need a new rational, efficient andpleasant digital design experience of "as you wish" and "one button go". Throughcomparing and analyzing different CBR prototypes applied in CAAD during the past20years, concept of Architable and its human-computer interaction based on networkand touch system is proposed. The Architable prototype allows people from differentplaces to operate on the graphical webpage together through iphone and ipad,recieving abundent precedent references by drawing conceptual sketches, in order toget new ideas and transform old solutions into new one though automatic spatialgenerating and evolution.After introducing the research on spatial relation and its formalization,architectural spatial relations are classified as different topological relations including“hierarchy relation”,“connectivity relation” and “direction relation”. Withformalization method of architectural spatial relation proposed, the architecturalspatial relation database (ASRD) is established, and the storage and retrieval ofarchitectural spatial relation will be realized through inputting and matching approach.Finally, with methods of adaptively modification, automatically generating andevolution researched, and Space Grammar and C-Sign prototypes developed, theobjective of Architable is preliminarily achieved, and the future development ofASRD in solutions generating is shown.
