Data structures for context responsive modeling in architecture

Context plays important roles in architecture design, any feelings we implement, or any existing conditions that we try to address in a design process intents emerge. Understanding the relationships between elements in a given design context and how they affect decision making for new ideas is crucial in understand how a design comes into form. By capturing this context responsiveness, we can capture the design knowledge into computers for different kinds of automated processes. Parametric modeling tools and scripting interfaces in modern ... ways to model data. The objects we create from these tools could potentially used in various computation processes and allow designers to interact with slight reconfigurations, they could help designers to capture design knowledge My thesis will try to use computation concepts such as Object Orient of technology to allow modeling software to model parametric objects in a way that provides flexible interfaces amongst parametric object, script, and designers. Then I will propose a context responsive to address the questions of how to capture design in a more effective way.
