Computational Support for Interactive Exploration of Urban Design Variants

This research aim is to develop a design support system for interactive exploration of urban space variants. During the early design process for urban masterplan, the design support system can evaluate the state of the design stage quickly and suggest alternative design variants to the designers. Design variants obtained while developing the design concept can be managed to be re-used. Through the management of design information at each design step, a designer can be supported to explore the history of the design process and reuse it. Therefore, it is possible to support breadth-first and depth-first design modes in solution development in a highly structured manner. Therefore, a user can practi ce informed decision making while preserving ownership during the design process, which can assist designer-led creative design activities.
