Preservation Design:
"Maybe a house is a home only once it can appreciate your jokes." 
(Negroponte, 1975)

Through the development of artificial intelligence capabilities, computer 
aided design (CADD) systems will become interactive environments capable 
of learning the spatial and stylistic preferences of individual users.  
The input of preferential information will activate a filtering mechanism 
which will permit the computer to retrieve information tailored to the 
individual's particular needs from a large database.  With each use of the 
system, the computer will assimilate a greater "understanding" of the 
user's preferences and design methods.  As a consequence, the relevance of 
information provided automatically by the CADD/AI filter will increase, 
ensuring an efficient information retrieval process and mitigating the 
threat of information gluttony.
