Abstract
Model and Sketch play the most important role as
traditional methods of design exploration, Physical models in
particular serve the purpose of ”experiencing shape, shape details,
shape compositions and functionality”. Having a three dimensional
physical model, it is within an instant that all shape relations come
visible and can be seized.
Currently available Computer Aided Design Systems are
conceived with the purpose of generating a two-dimensional drawing,
which often come at the latest stage of the design process.
With the newly available Virtual Reality (VR) technology; it
is now possible to build a design system that allows full threedimensionality
in all stages of the design process. This thesis
describes the conception of a new modeling system, based on VR
techniques, AI technology and Aided design tools, which can be used
during the early phases of the architectural design process. Such early
phases of the design process are characterized by the shaping of
concept The system allows the architect to experiment new 3Dinteraction
and Modeling techniques while being immersed in a
”virtual” design space.
The goal of this thesis is to specify, formulate and develop
characteristics of a new architectural Computer Aided Design system
derived from Virtual Reality (VR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI)
technologies that aids the architect in the early phases of design
through a new method of three-dimensional modeling.
A suggested tool will be presented at the end of the thesis to
visualize the various implementations of IVRAD techniques in the
early phases of design process.
