Abstract :
To facilitate mass customization in the building industry, an automated method is needed to check the validity of user-created designs. This check requires that numerous complex building codes and regulations, as well as architects´ demands are formalized and captured by non-programming domain experts. This can be done via a natural language interface, as it reduces the required amount of training of users. In this paper we describe an algorithm for interpreting architectural constraints in such a system.
