The use of Weber's focal-directorial plane curves as approximation of top view contour curves at architectural buildings objects

Abstract

One of the major aims when researching some problems in architectural design of buildings is to fully understand and adequately apply the underlying scientific foundations that architects use in their projects. In this paper we analyze the application possibilities of the Weber's focal-directorial curves in the approximation of ground-base contour line of architectural objects i.e. buildings. Thus, a Weber's curve with m foci and n directrices was defined. Furthermore, particular qualifiers were introduced in order to estimate the level of adequacy of the conducted approximation. The importance of the research can be sought in the fact that the exact procedure has been created with its applicability in architectural-urban design of contemporary forms as well as in the domain of the historical heritage and conservation in the sense of the creating proper geometrical models for further computer aided use.

Jedan od glavnih ciljeva istraživanja nekih problema u arhitektonskom dizajniranju zgrada je potpuno razumevanje i adekvatno primenjivanje naučnih načela koje arhitekte koriste u svojim projektima. U ovom radu analiziramo mogu nosti primene eberovih fokalno-direktrisnih krivih u aproksimaciji konture osnove arhitektonskih objekata, tj. zgrada. U vezi sa tim, definisana je Veberova kriva sa m fokusa i n direktrisa. Osim toga, uvedeni su posebni kvalifikatori kako bi se procenio nivo preciznosti izvršene aproksimacije. ažnost istraživanja se posebno iskazuje u činjenici da je postupak kreiran sa mogu noš u primene u arhitektonsko-urbanističkom dizajniranju savremenih oblika, kao i u domenu zaštite i revitalizacije istorijskog nasle a u smislu stvaranja odgovaraju ih geometrijskih modela za dalju upotrebu pomo u računara.
