Design of Design
Chapter 17-18

203- Chapter 17 -  A Computer Scientist’s Dream for Designing Houses-Mind to Machine.

204- Brooks  suggests a computer interface for designing houses and buildings.

205- Designs start off with ideas not from scratch completely. ie top down design

206- Suggests there should be exemplars the user can start from to use the truthfulness mode method.

207-This method may affect the creativity how do you put thoughts into computer system.  Design can be thought of a noun and verb a rhythm.  

208- diagram of the structure of an imperative sentence; nouns:clicks::verbs:double clicks verb command.

209- Ideally we would like voice commands.  Compares the verbs in the cad program.

210- Objects should be specified by names which can be confusing if you have multiple one with same name.  One object can have different names, and it can be pointed to.

211- To draw a 3D drawing,start off with a 2D drawing, 3D can be complicated but you can imitate it with 2D

212-Text is used for specifications adverbs commands and verbs can be implemented trying to find a amount

213- Specifying the interior of a house is important.   The views can change depending eye height and other factors for 3D design. Walkthrough simulation

214- Allowing the user to walk through 3D in 2D views . All six views need to be seen.  

215- tooth pick viewpointer, a  joystick can help view the exterior of the house being designed.

216- Toothpick is discussed further also a rocking pendulum can give depth perception. 

217- notes and references.

218- A picture of a design workstation

219- Chapter 18 - A Computer Scientist’s Dream System for Designing Houses—Machine to Mind.

220- Concurrent windows, explaining need for 2 way channel for mind to machine. The d view should have an angle, work surface size, resolution, and viewing distance.

221- The display should be spatial.  It should be able to zoom in and out and create or manipulate some local portion explaining 2D context view

222- Virtual environment should be used for the 3D viewing and shows its functionality. Possibly and view pointers and discusses exterior views

223- Explains the workbook view has a picture of cutaway apt

224- There should be specifications for drawings that are stylistic.

225- Audio displays can be used to add depth, and help in design windows and doors.

226- Discussion of the dream system, the can question and how to implement it.

227- notes and references.
