Abstract :
This paper aims to develop a visual tool named Spatial Topology Retrieval (STR) for integrating a physical-based spatial allocation tool, which offers a visual interactive interface for architectural space layout in the early design stage, into an online case library of architectural design, which is based on rational database technology with ontology-based authoring tools of metadata of case features. STR provides the case library with a tool for indexing and retrieving the plane views of a given architectural design case.
