  abstract  = {Complex gridshell structures used in architecturally ambitious constructions remain as appealing as ever in the public realm. This paper describes the theory and approach behind the software realisation of a tool which helps in finding the affine self-weight geometry of gridshell structures. The software tool DOMEdesign supports the formal design process of lattice and grid shell structures based upon the laws of physics. The computer-aided simulation of suspension models is used to derive structurally favourable forms for domes and arches subject to compression load, based upon the input of simple architectonic parameters. Irregular plans, three-dimensional topography, a choice different kinds of shell lattice structures and the desired height of the dome are examples of design parameters which can be used to modify the architectural design. The provision of data export formats for structural dimensioning and visualisation software enables engineers and planners to use the data in future planning and to communicate the design to the client.},

  abstract  = {The approach discussed here is part of research into an overall concept for digital instruments which support the entire planning process and help in enabling planning decisions to be based upon clear reasoning and plausible arguments. Such specialist systems must take into account currently available technology, such as networked working patterns, object-orientation, building and product models as well as the working method of the planner. The paper describes a plausibility instrument for the formulation of colour scheme proposals for building interiors and elevations. With the help of intuitively usable light simulations, colour, material and spatial concepts can be assessed realistically. The software prototype "Coloured Architecture" is conceived as a professional extension to conventional design tools for the modelling of buildings. As such it can be used by the architect in the earliest design phases of the planning process as well as for colour implementation on location.},

  abstract  = {Entwerfen ist ein komplexer Vorgang. Soll dieser Vorgang nicht allein, sondern r{\"a}umlich verteilt mit mehreren Beteiligten gemeinsam stattfinden, so sind digitale Werkzeuge zur Unterst{\"u}tzung dieses Prozesses unumg{\"a}nglich. Die Verwendung von Werkzeugen f{\"u}r Ent-wurfsprozesse bedeutet jedoch immer auch eine Manipulation des zu unterst{\"u}tzenden Prozesses selbst. Im Falle von Werkzeugen zur Unterst{\"u}tzung der Kollaboration mehrerer Beteiligter stellen die implementierten Koordinationsmechanismen solche prozessbeeinflussenden Faktoren dar. Damit diese Mechanismen, entsprechend der Charakteristika kreativer Prozesse, so flexibel wie m{\"o}glich gestaltet werden k{\"o}nnen, liegt die Anforderung auf technischer Ebene darin, ein geeignetes Konzept f{\"u}r eine nachvollziehbare Speicherung (Versionierung) der stattfindenden Entwurfshandlungen zu schaffen. Der vorliegende Artikel besch{\"a}ftigt sich mit dem Thema der Entwurfsversionierung in computergest{\"u}tzten kollaborativen Arbeitsumgebungen. Vor dem Hintergrund, dass die Versionierung den kreativen Entwurfsprozess m{\"o}glichst wenig manipulieren soll, werden technische sowie konzeptionelle Probleme der diskutiert und L{\"o}sungsans{\"a}tze f{\"u}r diese vorgestellt.},
