Abstract

Considers that architecture continues to be tempted to narrow down its area of concern to that which it can manage with available techniques. Believes it avoids those problems which seem too intractable and ignores the “objects” it needs to appreciate if it is to succeed. Advocates that more time should be spent working on a general method for solving problems and developing co‐ordinated approaches to a common purpose architecture. Sees the research findings in artificial intelligence as underpinning the imperative for “domain specific knowledge” (to inform the future competences of computer programs). As a result launches the quest for a method of knowledge fusion and presents an initial paradigm for architectural design.
