This project develops a generative expert system for the design of              building layouts; these layouts are treated as "loosely-packed"                 arrangements of rectangles, which include "densely-packed" arrangements         as a special case.  In this form, a broad range of applications becomes         possible, while the restriction to a basically rectilinear world allows         for a rigorous, formalized treatment.  The system consists of a robust          generator capable of finding all possible arrangements and a tester             able to prune the search tree traversed by the generator and to filter          out the most promising of "efficient" rectangles, the "orthogonal               structure."  The tester uses knowledge contained in a knowledge base;           it is programmed in a style which allows for an easy expansion and              modification of that base, using well-established techniques from the           field of artificial intelligence.  By varying the knowledge base, the           system can be adapted to various problem domains.
