Tolerating Inconsistencies

The Distributed Perspectives Model

  • Conference paper
Computer Aided Architectural Design Futures 2001

Abstract

A new design model is presented. Information on the design is distributed over multiple self-contained design perspectives and translation functions between design perspectives. Inconsistencies between specifications in different design perspectives introduced by human designers are temporarily tolerated in order to support creative design processes. The implementation of a design support system currently under evaluation is outlined.
