Abstract
Design space explorers are computer programs that play
on an exploration metaphor to support design.
They assist designers in creating alternative designs by
structuring the process of design creation in a space of
alternatives. Subsidiary metaphors relevant to design space
explorers are generation, navigation,
and reuse. This paper introduces, in two sketches,
typed feature structures as a formal system in which a
design space explorer and its knowledge level might be
implemented. First, informal and abstract properties of
typed feature structures suffice to build a sketch of the
behavior of a design space explorer. Second, using an example
based on single-fronted cottages (a common Australian housing
type), we outline the typed feature structure machinery
most relevant to design space exploration.
