Abstract
This paper describes the incremental development of a knowledge based system for supporting floor plan design. A method of gradual space partitioning is developed which allows large flexibility in expressing demand, including highly incomplete descriptions. A simplified logic programming language is used to provide a readable and precise description of tasks, concepts, methods, regulations and other knowledge. A variety of architectural constraints are used to express demand, regulate solvability and improve efficiency of reasoning. A new lexicographic method is embedded in the system to increase time efficiency and convenience of use. The system is implemented in Prolog. Detailed experimentation with reasonably realistic design tasks are shown.
