| Summary: | Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1999. === Includes bibliographical references (leaves 67-69). === Architectural design involves the integration of diverse, sometimes conflicting, concepts and requirements into a coherent single composition. This paper proposes a method for negotiating architectural design across domains, by examining issues of ontology, perception, generation and evaluation, and detailing a prototype in which these mechanisms are augmented using computational agents for achieving coherence and innovation in remote collaborative design. The paper proposes a common geometric and topological database, from which multiple semantic models are constructed. Filter Mediated Design is intended to explore the processes and strategies of constructing intelligent designs and design intelligence. === by John R. Haymaker. === S.M.
