Abstract (2. Language):
Architectural design is a complex process and architects are continuously required to draw and analyze
resources from various disciplines in their design decision making processes. Architects commonly refer to
“rules of thumb”, originating from previous design experiences to deal with design issues involving engineering
analysis, since the formulation and analysis of the engineering problem is usually quite rigorous. The problem
with this approach is that these rules of thumb may not be appropriate to the design problem at hand. Recent
advancements in computer aided design, finite element analysis software and building information modeling
paved the way for “integrated design”, where architects and engineers work simultaneously throughout the
design process. This paper reports two case studies which use finite element analysis software (ANSYS) to
enhance the architectural design process. This paper also investigates the ways this approach can be applied
more extensively in architectural design education.
