Analysis of Architectural Space Composition Using Inductive Logic Programming

  • Chapter
Artificial Intelligence in Design ’02

Abstract

In this paper, we summarized an application of the ILP technique to the analysis of the human design process in architectural design. We focused particularly on discovering the patterns in the spatial composition process in the framework of design analysis called Architectural Space Montage Technique. Spatial composition data used in this paper are complexly structured data, which are collections of architectural objects with geometric relationships. The objects and relationships are constrained within a given set of attributes (such as object type, object angle, time stamp, relation type) together with background knowledge on the class hierarchies of object types and relation types. We modeled these spatial composition process data in first-order logic and applied the ILP system Progol to discover design patterns that characterized the given data.
