2. COMPUTER AIDED ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN Computer aided architectural design (CAAD), as a term, is a bridge between computers and architecture while emphasizing the use of computer aid in architecture. Computers are used as tools and as media in various disciplines. Architecture is one of these disciplines within which the effects of computers are seen widely. Although the use of computers in architecture is new, compared to many other tools, the impacts and the consequences have varied the way architectural design progresses (Coyne, 1992). 2.1 Development of CAAD The development of the computers dates back to 1940s. First computers were slow, large and expensive to buy, and were designed especially for commercial use only. There were lots of efforts to make them affordable and widespread. For instance, in 1959, with the invention of the transistor and chip, computers became smaller, faster and reliable (Woodward & Howes, 1997). These innovations fastened developments and in 1970s, the personal computers (PC) were developed. PCs were soon used in different professions, in various offices or even homes because of its smaller size, usefulness in accomplishing everyday tasks and affordability (Kalay, 2004). Furthermore, in the late 1980s, with the advent of Intel, which transformed the poor 7
graphics of the old computer systems with good quality graphics, the costs of the PCs dropped while affecting the affordability of PCs to explode (Eastman, 1999). The development of the computers has never stopped and computers today are in almost every tool we used. In the past, architects were limited to the straight lines and arcs of circles with the traditional tools like parallel bars, triangles, compasses, scales and protractors (Mitchell, 1999). The developments in the information technology also influenced the way architects, interior architects and designers worked. Instead of using the traditional tools, computers were utilized in architectural offices due to their efficiency. Computers were first used as a drafting tool primarily to increase the efficiency of conventional modes of production (Silver, 2006). However, it took a long time for architects to employ computers as a design medium during their design process. According to Straub (1986) there were three issues affecting the use of computers in architectural design. The first two issues, ‘cost’ and ‘time’, he claims, slowed down the use of computers. At first, computer technology was new and expensive to buy, therefore only few architectural offices afforded to buy and use it properly. Moreover, architects had to gain architectural computer skills which were difficult and time consuming. The third issue was ‘quality’, which increased computer use in architecture. Architects started to use computers to improve the quality of the drawings. However, the use of computers in architecture, replaced hand drawings by 3D models and computer visualizations while allowing new architectural forms to emerge (Mitchell, 1999). 8
