The democratization of information and communication technologies (ICT) has promoted integration of computing in the design studio and of design activities in the CAAD courses. In addition it has also shifted the focus of CAAD courses from technical skills and general theoretical

Approaches to the integration of CAAD education in the electronic era
Two value systems
In recent years the democratization of information and communication technologies (ICT) has become the greatest influence on the structure of CAAD education. While the content of the CAAD courses simply had to absorb the new technological possibilities, the structure of the cours

Web-based CAAD instruction
The Delft experience
In the early 1990s, the introduction of an extensive CAAD component in the compulsory curriculum of the Faculty of Architecture, Delft University of Technology, stimulated experimentation with computer-based instruction systems. The emergence of the World Wide Web presented new p

The visual representations traditionally used by architects form a primary source for the analysis and understanding of architectural design. Computerization and, in particular, computer vision offer a new opportunity for making explicit the general cognitive mechanisms and the d

Visual representations form one of the most successful and yet most underrated-especially in the framework of the computerization of architecture-devices of architectural design. Recent advances in computer-aided design, as well as the emerging need to explore and utilize more ex

The paper considers possibilities of applying computer vision to the computerization of architecture and in particular to the transfer of existing drawings to the computer. It is proposed that, given the technical problems encountered at the lower levels of machine vision and ...
The paper proposes a technique for the recognition of the posture of articulated forms within David Marr's computer vision framework. The technique is based on the identification and propagation of kinesiologic constraints at each joint of a model through a multilevel system o ...
