LaHave House project is an ongoing research project of the Faculty of Architecture and
the Faculty of Computer Science at DalTech, Dalhousie University. The goal of the
LaHave House Project is to explore the potential for an industrial design approach to the
design of houses. Instead of defining single instance within a design space, an industrial
approach would have the designer define a large set of instances using rules/schemes. The
main interest of this project is the development of an Automated Architectural Design
Service. Such a service would enable an end user to select a house design from a database
of base designs, customize it using a design development tool, and then generate a set of
plans and assembly drawings at a level of detail sufficient to permit its construction.
