2. Scientific Component 2.1 Abstract

Architectural design, urban planning or is building, over time, evolved little in the methodology of representation, from just being developed using the computer systems [1]. These systems have evolved rapidly, and new concepts and implementing methodologies that simulate the virtual building, completed where all information pertaining to scheduling and management work is being included also georeferenced [2]. With the development of knowledge and progress of society, jurisprudence increasingly focuses on the act of building, regulating the act, with inconsistencies and incompatibilities within who is not skilled in the art, and often violating the rights enshrined in the Constitution [3].For lack of training, technical and legal terminology and demonstrate ignorance of the technical and conceptual design process, identifying and naming the same situation and / or technique with different terms due to the lack of matter. Reasons such as these lead to the complication, not only the process of designing architecture, but also of approval. The process is aggravated due to lack of support to the decisions that the coach should take during the early stages of the project. It is assumed that the coach by signing an affidavit submitted by the project, want to blame the technicians involved in the project by the terms of responsibility. The complexity of the act of building has increased and the act of design to communicate with the work [4], still remains in the earliest of times as well as decision support during all phases of the process described.

While some local authorities facilitate and clearly assume that the technical author is solely responsible, others act differently, seeking to invalidate the licensing aspects, often based on misinformation or misinterpretation of law, and that many of the works developed by the urban municipalities are true examples of bad do bad building, the waste of public money and real attacks on security tax paying citizen who demands quality. Against this background, we intend to develop a set of tools, using abstract languages, such as IFC2x3 [5] and IFC 2x4alfa, IFC2x4Beta, IFC2x4Beta1 [5], among others, to check, automatically, the legal compliance of architectural design and its compatibility with standards and municipal regulations. This process will allow automatic verification, whether technical or authors municipal project, obtain licensing process with the consequent issuance of building permits in 24 hours or less. The main advantages in the implementation of a software tool of this nature are easily intuíveis, for example, speed of decision approving a project, simplifying the submission of specific changes, among other advantages [6].

3 Technical Description 3.1. Literature Review

Currently, the design tools have been of tremendous progress, leaving the thought of two-dimensional representation to pass to draw and represent models of buildings in 3D. Contributed to this evolution of hardware and computer architecture as well as increased capacity and speed of data processing. The technologies of representation of a building or urban, walked to a structure called BIM [7]. This currently allows the representation not only of the three-dimensional model but getting to the size 7D [8]. Evolution is constantly and rapidly to the point of barely having time to explore the full potential of a single BIM tool, due to the ongoing evolution and development of the same.

If we refer to tools such as ArchiCAD [9] which provides for the next version of the internal implementation modules Morph [10] capable of designing complex models and compounds derived from combinations of different forms, which are interpreted as objects containing all necessary information, or Microstation [10] that currently is listed as one of the best tools BIM, having already implemented on your system Generative Grammar (Generative Grammars) [11] capable of providing support in the conceptual development of the project during the early stages thereof, and accompany this development over the life cycle thereof. But this requires that these systems can share data with each other and the increasing complexity of information for each virtual object, the language of before transferring information vector (DXF) [12] lose capacity requirement of a level of complexity and precision due to the much larger amount of information needed. Hence arise where IFC abstract language in different versions already allows interaction consolidated and reliable three-dimensional data with the properties inherent to each virtual object [13]. That is, there is a language allowing transfer standarizada accurately, data representing a complete way of virtual objects with the same capabilities and prorpriedades the objects of the physical world, this is important because mastering it, you can control not only the elements and information provided for the execution of the work, as also obtain real-time simulations of values, construction costs, environmental impact of materials, among other factors and elements essential to the LCA project of architecture, urbanism, infrastructure, and other necessary data [14]. This language - IFC - has complete information from the repository corresponding data is properly updated and as such allows, using expert systems to automatic verification of architectural design or otherwise, provided that the law is translated similar in language and hence is accessible by appropriate computer systems [15]. The proposal is the main objective of this project is to develop a tool that, by direct application on the IFC format, to interpret adequately, and access to the data repository where it is specified legislation, is able to verify compliance with rules, regulations and laws published by checking the feasibility of building law [16].

It is thus possible to obtain a building permit in less time: 24 hours or less [17]. This process will continue the tool developed by a graduate student and intended to be implemented in Barcelos [18]. Was developed and tested, but is not implemented for reasons of internal politics. This project proposes, as a final result, the clogging of gaps in this area - validation and certification of construction projects - and it is expected as the final development of a single document compiling all legislation can be applied to the model on which this tool will be developed leading to the drafting of a document - BUILDING CODE [19] where he will meet in a sufficiently explicit, all rules and regulations applied to the building and its components, duly updated and clarified with appropriate technical drawing, clarifying inconsistencies in nomenclature or technical regulations and decrees [20]. The computer tool to develop and complement the existing associated BIM [-] will continue, in a not too distant future, the goals we want to achieve: Decision Support [21], expert systems validation project [22] and Machine Learning [23] in the treatment of information and data.

3.2 Plan and Methods

Currently, the design of tools Have Been tremendous progress, Leaving the thought of two-dimensional representation to pass to draw Rep and models of buildings in 3D. Contributed to this evolution of hardware and computer architecture as well as Increased capacity and speed of data processing.The technologies of representation of a building or urban, Walked to a structure called BIM [7]. This Allows Currently the representation not only of the three-dimensional model but getting to the size 7D [8]. Constantly Evolution is developing rapidly and to the point of HAVING barely time to explore the full potential of a single BIM tool, due to the ongoing evolution and development of the same.

If we refer to tools such as ArchiCAD [9] Which Provides for the next version of the internal modules Implementation Morph [10] capable of designing complex models and compounds derived from combinations of different forms, which are interpreted the Necessary objects containing all information, Microstation or [10] That Currently listed is the one of the best tools BIM, HAVING Already Implemented on your system Generative Grammar (Generative Grammars) [11] capable of Providing support in the conceptual development of the project During the early stages thereof, and Accompany this development over the life cycle thereof. But this requires That Can These systems share data with each other and the Increasing Complexity of information for each virtual object, the language of information before Transferring vector (DXF) [12] lose capacity requirement of a level of complexity and precision due to the much larger amount of information needed.Hence Arise where IFC abstract language in different versions Already Allows Interaction consolidated and reliable three-dimensional data with the properties Inherent to each virtual object [13]. That is, there is a language Allowing transfer standard accurately, when Representing a complete way of virtual objects with the same capabilities and prorpriedades the objects of the physical world, this is important because mastering it, You Can not only control the elements and information provided for the execution of the work, to also obtain real-time simulations of values, construction costs, environmental impact of materials, among other limiting factors and elements essential to the LCA project of architecture, urbanism, infrastructure, and Other Necessary data [14]. This language - IFC - has complete information from the repository CORRESPONDING data is updated and the enquiry allows such, using expert systems to automatic verification of architectural design or Otherwise, provided That the law is translated similar in language and hence is accessible by Appropriate computer systems [15]. The Proposal is the main objective of this project is to Develop a tool That, by direct application on the IFC format, to interpret adequately, and access to the data repository where it is specified Legislation, is Able to verify compliance with rules, and Supplements Regulations Laws published by checking the feasibility of building law [16]. Thus it is Possible to Obtain a building permit in less time: 24 hours or less [17].

This process will keep the tool developed by a graduate student and Intended to be Implemented in Barcelos [18]. Was developed and tested, but is not implemented for Reasons of internal politics. Proposes this project, the final result, the clogging of gaps in this area - validation and certification of construction projects - and it is expected the end of the development of a single document compiling all Legislation can Be Applied to the model on Which this tool will be developed leading to the drafting of a document - BUILDING CODE [19] - where he will meet in a sufficiently explicit, all rules and Regulations Applied to the Building and Its components, Duly updated and clarified with Appropriate technical
