The studies in this domain focused on the development of the models or the machines for designing[2]. These models help the designer as a tool; so that the design decision remains the designer’s domain.[3]. Based on the model of Schon[1], the interaction between the designer and its representation on a computer is expressed with the analytical models of design by Oxman. These analytical models of design represented by Rivka Oxman, explain the interaction of the designer with his design representations[4]. The importance of these models of design is that they mark the developmental stages in the theory of computational design UR - file:///C:/Users/KRRCSH~1/AppData/Local/Temp/AUGUST_%202019.pdf ER -
