Interactive visualization of design stories for parametric design systems

This project involves the development and implementation of a visualization, analysis and exploration prototype for a parametric CAD tool. The prototype focuses on the design process; that is, the collection of actions taken by designers as they develop solutions. The visualization will allow designers to analyze, understand and make better decisions based on single actions and/or patterns across time. Designers using the prototype will be able to explore new design solutions derived from this knowledge using the visualization itself. The partner organization will benefit by having a prototype that allows designers of the built environment to view their design process, the highlights and pitfalls, and enable further exploration to find better solutions based on these insights.
