Abstract

Case-based design promises important advantages over rule-based design systems. However, the actual implementation of the paradigm poses many problems which put the advantages into question. In our work on CADRE, a case-based building design system, we have encountered seven fundamental problems which we think are common to most case-based design systems. We describe the problems and the ways we either solved or worked around them in the CADRE system. This leads us to conclusions about the general applicability of case-based reasoning to building design.
