--- abstract: "The paper presents on-going research aimed at the understanding and support of process knowledge in architectural design, from early and not sufficiently defined, to satisfactorily-defined phases. Today, technical, planning, management and environmental issues have created a scenario of such complexity that traditionally efficient control tools (e.g. technical manuals) are inadequate and there is a demand for new, integrated instruments to handle the decision process underlying architectural design. We assume design as a recursive and incrementally specified intentional planning activity, involving goals, constraints and their relationships. The essence of architectural design is thus encapsulated in the continual recursive transformation of the initial model, in order to map the desired state onto the enacted one. On the basis of this concept of design we describe the model of an environment aimed at progressively representing the enlarging space of acquired knowledge, and at supporting the designer's central role in the management of complexity." altloc: [] chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: 'August 16-20, 1995' conference: '8th International Conference on Systems Research, Informatics and Cybernetics' confloc: Baden-Baden (Germany) contact_email: ~ creators_id: [] creators_name: - family: Arlati given: Ezio honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Bottelli given: Valeria honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Fogh given: Christian honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Tirassa given: Maurizio honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 1995 date_type: published datestamp: 2004-04-07 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/35/55 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: ~ edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: [] eprint_status: archive eprintid: 3555 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/application_pdf.png;/3555/1/1995%2DDesign.pdf full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: 0 item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: ~ lastmod: 2011-03-11 08:55:31 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: ~ pagerange: 3-10 pubdom: FALSE publication: ~ publisher: ~ refereed: TRUE referencetext: |- Arlati, E.
