2004 Design Evaluator is a freehand drawing environment that provides designers with critical feedback on their sketches in various visual forms. The goal of these system-generated critiques is to help end users who draw and then reason about their drawings to solve design problems. Design Evaluator’s main features include a sketch interface, critiquing, and visualization of critiquing results. In an architectural application, the system interprets the floor plan and provides critiques of three types when it finds conflicts between the sketched floor plan and built-in rules; text message, annotated drawing and 3D model/walk-through.  A Web page layout application was also prototyped.
