Discrete Optimization in Architecture : Architectural & Urban Layout PDF
by Machi Zawidzki
Part of the SpringerBriefs in Architectural Design and Technology series
Description
This book presents three projects that demonstrate thefundamental problems of architectural design and urban composition – the layoutdesign, evaluation and optimization. Part I describes the functional layoutdesign of a residential building, and an evaluation of the quality of a townsquare (plaza).
The algorithm for the functional layout design is based onbacktracking using a constraint satisfaction approach combined with coarse griddiscretization. The algorithm for the town square evaluation is based ongeometrical properties derived directly from its plan.
Part II introduces a crowd-simulation application for theanalysis of escape routes on floor plans, and optimization of a floor plan forsmooth crowd flow. The algorithms presented employ agent-based modeling andcellular automata.
