A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Architects and other humanistically oriented physical planners consider among their expertise the ability to finely fit an environment to its planned use. This paper identifies four major issues concerning fit that designers generally are incapable of handling. The issues are: anonymous users, self-selection of users; limited experience of users with regard to alternatives, and the changing pattern of activities. Two approaches for dealing with these issues are explored and an adaptive-conditional approach of building design and modification is examined in detail. Weaknesses of traditional modeling and prediction methods are also identified. (Author)
