Three R’s of Drawing and Design Computation

A Drawing Centered View of Design Process

  • Conference paper

Abstract

A drawing centered view of design process focuses on the interplay between designer expertise, domain knowledge and media manipulation. We report on our computational sketching software systems that support design recording, reasoning, and resolving.
