Towards precedent based design foundations for parametric design systems
(2017) 24th EG-ICE International Workshop on Intelligent Computing in Engineering 2017 p.178-187- Abstract
Parametric design systems serve as powerful assistive technologies in the design process by aiding the generation of a vast number of design alternatives. However, with their focus on low-level engineering and structural form, parametric systems do not automatically fulfil cognitively founded people-centred behavioural design criteria. We propose a precedent-based design approach for parametric systems that introduces people-centred criteria according to empirical behavioural evidence. As an example, we identify peoplecentred precedents for navigation design in large-scale buildings, and verify a number of them through perceptual data analysis based on cognitive vision theory and high-level semantic analysis of multimodal data as part...

Parametric design systems serve as powerful assistive technologies in the design process by aiding the generation of a vast number of design alternatives. However, with their focus on low-level engineering and structural form, parametric systems do not automatically fulfil cognitively founded people-centred behavioural design criteria. We propose a precedent-based design approach for parametric systems that introduces people-centred criteria according to empirical behavioural evidence. As an example, we identify peoplecentred precedents for navigation design in large-scale buildings, and verify a number of them through perceptual data analysis based on cognitive vision theory and high-level semantic analysis of multimodal data as part of an empirical study conducted in two healthcare environments. As running examples, we present design constraints about visibility and the morphology of decision points in navigation routes, and an example of integrating precedents into parametric modelling.
