> shape grammar engine with reinforcing engine. That sounds like it might make the exercise more tractable. Without some sort of middleware, the article seems to be saying the researchers lack traction. Or maybe the problem is a lack of data. What if each building was a dataset that included digital versions of the client brief, the CAD files, the BOM and procurement folio, and a 5 year subjective client review? If there were millions of these datasets for training, the same learning could occur as with the shape grammar approach. Perhaps the limitation today is not enough data, irrespective of data format.
