碩士 === 國立台灣工業技術學院 === 工程技術研究所 === 85 === In this research, we use the theory of problem solving to model space allocation problems. A formalized system is devised to solve campus layout planning of elementary schools. By analyzing the hierarchical structure of campus planning, the system systematically searches possible solutions using top-down search strategy.The design method called SAR is used in this research as a framework to realize the search process. The essential component of the SAR method consists of two parts, namely, the support system and the infill. The support system is a spatial framework, which provides an operational environment for design process. The infill includes a set of spatial units. The functional requirements of the layout can be specified as relationships among the infilling units and the support system. The entire system can be viewed as a formalized knowledge base compiled from design experiences, architectural patterns and domain knowledge. The spatial allocation of campus layout problems are divided into three levels, which are the campus level, functional zones and functional spaces. A prototypical program written with AutoLisp programming language is built to realize the process of searching for feasible solutions. Experiments are conducted to evaluate the applicability of the system.Based on the observation from the experiments, we concludes that the established hierarchy of the design problem has great influence to the simplification of the search process. The applicability of the system depends on how we control the process and the results by constraints of the support system and the infilling units.
