Visual Input Mechanisms in Textual Programming for Architecture
Visual Input Mechanisms in Textual Programming for Architecture
Sammer, Maria João ; Leitão, António ;
Article:
Algorithmic Design (AD) is no longer foreign to architecture and its methodologyembraces one of the most recent technological revolutions in the field. Thisapproach lays on Programming Languages (PLs) to define rules and constraintswithin an algorithm that, in return, generates geometry in modeling and analysistools. PLs can either be visual (VPLs) or textual (TPLs). In architecture, there isa clear propensity to the use of VPLs over TPLs, due to all the visual features andmechanisms they provide that make programming more intuitive for architects.Nevertheless, and even though TPLs are less appealing to learn and use, theyoffer clear advantages when dealing with complex programs. Therefore, in orderto bring TPLs closer to their users, we discuss, explore, and implement VisualInput Mechanisms (VIMs) in Khepri, a new textual programming tool forarchitecture.
