Gestalts in CAD-Plans

Analysis of a similarity concept

  • Chapter
Artificial Intelligence in Design ’94

Abstract

CAD plans in the domain of architecture contain thousands of design fragments (cases) which could be helpful for later use. In FABEL1 we try to find those fragments which are usable, to evaluate and adapt them to the actual problem. The presented paper reduces the notion of usefulness to one of similarity and describes a similarity criteria that is based on detection of“gestalts”. Furthermore, it describes methods of how to confirm the usefulness of cases found using this criteria.
