Architectural Conservation Based on Its Cultural DNA
No two buildings in the world are alike. This is because their Cultural DNA, defined by the combination of the building’s setting (environment), the owner, the patron (master/designer), and the craftsman (workman), is unique. Based on the cultural context

Preface
Many research works in computational design field implement shape grammars or space syntax for morphological analysis; since my appointment to Graduate School of Culture Technology at KAIST in 2007, I strived to apply the abovementioned scientific and rule-based methodologies to cultural aspects. This effort led me to explore computational design field from the perspectives of a meme, a socio-cultural analogy to genes. While trying to comprehend the concept of a meme from the cultural aspects of design and the notion of a genetic algorithm, the term ‘cultural DNA’ naturally became a keyword of the attractive new area of research. A motivational event was when I organized an international workshop in 2009 focusing on the analysis of Korean and Spanish patterns using shape grammars called, ‘Visual Exploration of Cultural Style in Design (VECSiD)’ and another
