Fuzzy Layout Planner: A simple layout planning tool for early stages of design

This study presents a digital architectural design tool named “Fuzzy Layout Planner” that helps architects create two dimensional sketchy footprints for their design. The purpose of the tool is to extend limits of early design thinking. It uses fuzzy modeling techniques to adapt the ambiguous design phase. There are several commands in this...

Digital Design Tools versus Architectural Representation and Design Approach

This study aims to investigate the relation between evolving graphic representations and due to new digital tools and how they affect architects’ approach to design process. In order to do this, Yap_ Magazine being published since 1973 in Turkey will be retrieved and data related to types of architectural design representation used will be...

A Catalyst for Digital Design Media

This study aims to understand whether time restriction along with a ‘situational influence on creativity’ can act as a catalyst to speed up unique design alternative generation when digital media is being used compared to sketching. In order to achieve this, an experiment with undergraduate architectural design students is conducted. The results...
