Abstract
Design automation, which involves the use of software tools and technologies
to streamline the design process, has been widely adopted in the electronics
industry, resulting in significant advancements in product development and
manufacturing. However, building design, which involves the creation of complex
structures and systems, has traditionally lagged behind in leveraging design
automation technologies. Despite extensive research on design automation in the
building industry, its application in the current design of buildings is
limited. This paper aims to (1) compare the design processes between
electronics and building design, (2) highlight similarities and differences in
their approaches, and (3) examine challenges and opportunities associated with
bringing the concept of design automation from electronics to building design.
