In this dissertation, an intelligent architectural design tool is presented that helps architects design houses in a new way and in less time. This structure includes two physical and digital user interfaces. In the physical user interface, the architect begins to design with the help of colored cardboard that represents the unique spaces of a house. Next, the set will be photographed by the camera and transferred to a computer and processed. In the digital user interface, intelligent algorithms display two-dimensional and three-dimensional design of the house and also by examining different aspects of the design, such as area and number of spaces, percentage of floor consoles, column errors, percentage of daylight receiving, shading and dimensions of the windows help the architect to choose the most optimal and best design mode.
This tool gives architects the power to change their design while viewing the results and modifying them as needed.

Tab 1: Preview of Plans and 3D Model, Units Division, Column Errors and Terraces.

Tab 2: Functional Diagram – Preview of Units Area in Each Floor, Total Floors Area, Number of Bedrooms and Consoles Percentage.

Tab 3: Sun Shadow Analysis Diagram – illustrate the sunshine and shading conditions which determined through the sun path diagrams that calculate the solar azimuth and altitude for any time of the day and day of the year (the percentage of each space has shown separately).

Tab 4: Windows Size – Access to all windows parameters in each space and four cardinal directions.
