Today, preservation of the traditional street landscape is one of the biggest concern to the urban planning and design. In this paper, the analysis of design elements is described which constitute the elevations of traditional Japanese town houses at NARA-MACHI. Then, the development of knowledge-based parametric design library is explained to assist urban design simulation for reproduction of the street landscape. The 12 components, e. g. a tiled roof and a lattice window, are prepared which can metamorphose their shapes according to the traditional architectural design rules. Using the library, the complex elevation of an existing traditional town house can consist of some objects, and also can be transformed for alternatives with the minimum change of parameters.
