I spent about a year and a half doing consulting with an big architecture firm several years ago. The primary project I worked on was essentially the opposite of this guy's idea - to take the existing plans for the highly rated hotels the firm had designed and to attempt to algorithmically extract the heuristics for Alexander's "QWAN". It was a very interesting, ultimately unsuccessful project - but I can certainly imagine a good future for this type of idea.
