  • Abstract
    Some preliminary work done on the Architectural Design Assistant is presented. The function and structure of the Design Assistant are presented along with some of the motivation behind its development. A building design model as well as its manipulation is discussed. The role of the National Building Code of Canada is outlined, and an example of how this code is incorporated into the Design Assistant is presented. One of the most important aspects of the Design Assistant - the use of high level abstraction - is highlighted as part of the example
