Abstract
The purpose of this study is to develop the idea generation support system giving "discovery" to the designer for the facade design of an office building.
This study analyzes the form elements constituting a facade and proposes new algorithm IDES based on IDE, in order to create many various design forms efficiently.
The multiplicity of design by IDES and the effectiveness of the system are verified in comparison with those by IDE.
In IDES, 80% of all creations were created as different designs without duplicate compared with the IDE.
IDES is effective algorithm as design idea support system, because the "very good" design was created about 2 times compared with the IDE.
