Abstract
Although many attempts have been made to enable creative and effective design activities using a computer, many design activities depend on the designer’s personal ability and are learned through interpersonal communication. These limitations are thought to be due to the fact that the knowledge we use does not cover the entire design process, comprising the problem-forming process and the problem-solving process, in a systematic manner. In this study, a method of dealing with the design information, in which the problem-forming process is considered, and dealt with simultaneously the problem-solving process, is proposed. This method is composed of three steps: (1) determination of the evaluation function from the shape, (2) synthesis (composition) of the evaluation function, and (3) generation of the shape candidates from the evaluation function. Interaction with a computer system implementing this method is expected to assist the shape design at an early stage. In this study, this method is developed and realized in a computer system.
