Metaphors in the Interface of TAD Designer

All modeling software has an underlying set of metaphors. For example; a conventional CAD system would use the technical drawing paper as its metaphor.

TAD uses concepts that one finds in a vernacular construction (where there are no architects… the villages themselves go about directly designing and constructing the building) Hence, the metaphors are as follows:

• The Site
• The Architect
• The Helpers
• Object, Shape and Volume
• Recycle Bin
• The Cursors
