A language-driven reverse-engineering tool for the analysis of architectural precedents: A Palladian case study

The analysis of precedents represents a significant point of departure for design processing. By applying a language/ design analogy, this research introduces a reverse-engineering tool that helps guide the systematic analysis of architectural precedents. The visual tool consists of four ma...
