A C.A.D System Integrating Architectural Knowledge

The aim of this project is to tackle the problem of architect’s knowledge representation. Our approach is based on the belief that part of architect’s knowledge can be extracted from graphical documents and classical vocabulary. We propose an organisation of that knowledge through different points of views: form, function, construction and different levels of description. An implementation of this approach is developed in an object oriented programming language under Prolog (Objlog) interfaced with a Smalltalk-80 environment to handle geometry.
