Case-based evolutionary design

The paper provides a solution to the current problem of adaptation in case-based design. The aim of this project is to develop a case-based model of design, using an evolutionary approach, for the adaptation of previously stored design solutions. It is argued that such a knowledge-lean methodology is more general in its applicability than conventional case-based design. A prototypical example in the context of 2-D spatial design of houses is used to test the efficacy and efficiency of this approach.
