If your idea is more like this one, then I have to disappoint you: The humane architecture of Christopher Alexander is primarily intended to tend to human interests and goals—even individual ones—and thus does require ‘user input’ to resolve ambiguities between general working patterns and indidual applicability.
This is the same as in software engineering: You have a set of patterns that are known to work well and produce effective (and beautiful) code—but need to be adapted to the specfic requirements to implement.
This is not to say that this cannot be automated in principle given a specification of the goals and interests to realize. But I guess this is an Ai-complete problem as it requires a thorough understanding of human interests (and language as specification).
Could this model be used to aid procedural architecture?
Aid? Yes. But it’s not really clear what procedural architecture is.
The wikipedia article procedural modelling implies that architecture is not amenable to procedural modelling—because of the human user input.
The procedural architecture of reversibledestiny suggests something different entirely.
