Abstract :
The smart architect is an innovative intelligent modeling system that can automatically generate architectures in the ancient Chinese architectural style using an ontology-based approach. Our approach aims to implement an architecture modeling system that can identify different elements and styles in a variety of buildings. It should also be able to generate numerous architectures of similar structures or styles based on the semantic knowledge extracted from existing buildings.
