Abstract

This paper deals with computer aided design in architecture. A two-phase representation of objects is used that separates the definition of structure from the interpretation. It is shown how to integrate such a graph-based representation with the commercial ArchiCAD system used by many architects. Preliminary results reported in this paper indicate that it is possible to augment ArchiCAD by a graph grammar-based tool that would allow the designer to generate alternative solutions and to evaluate them.
