Knowledge Base Repository
In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters.

Abstract:
This paper proposes a new approach to architecture design, which enables natureinspired modification of buildings prototypes. In the proposed method, analogy between a prototype and a class of natural objects (e.g. plant species) is found with the use of a knowledge base of natural forms. To define classes of natural objects, a generative tool called graph grammar is used. Matching a building prototype with a class of natural forms enables application of a graph grammar on the building model, which results in a nature-related aspects of an architectionic object. The main objective is to propose a method of computational design, which can be verified with regard to its capability of imitating human process of creatve design of architecture. This will help to learn more about alghoritmising of creative processes.
