explorations of agent-based simulation for architectural design
With most forms of computational or Information -- based architectural design the 2D scale drawing is often treated as an automated output of a complex system to translate information to builders or fabricators in an understandable format. We present a case study for a new typology of scale drawing which serves as the input and design control to rule-based component systems. This type of drawing serves as a construction document between the designer and the digital construction logic setup within the system and draws on the history and robustness of the scale drawing as a means of encoding information to develop a stronger design interface with complex component systems. The cases presented examine the potential of fuzzy logic as a method of control for component systems, and specifically how the logic graphs can become an "active scaled drawing" for designing system rules.
