Abstract: Architectural style, as a kind of nonlogical knowledge of architects, has not been embedded perfectly in the traditional knowledge-based system. In this paper, the knowledge about Yunnan housing style is given by a vocabulary and a set of generating rules in RECGRAPH, which is a kind of topological representation of floor plans. The knowledge-based design system YUNNANS is introduced. It commences design by selecting or generating generic descriptions of floor plans of Yunnan housing style, then the generic descriptions are refined into actual floor plans to satisfy given functional requirements.
