In this paper, we focus on façade design of buildings used prefabricated walls, and we propose a method to design the prefabricated wall using topology optimization method. In this method, artificial design elements are added to the topology optimization method. In this paper, 2-axis symmetry and continuous pattern are adopted as the artificial design elements. Improved ESO (IESO) method is used for the topology optimization method. IESO method is improvement of initial ESO method, and in this method, benefits of BESO, Extended ESO, and CA-ESO methods are combined. In this paper, several numerical examples of computational morphogenesis of prefabricated walls are shown in order to verify the application possibility of the proposed method to the façade design of buildings used prefabricated walls.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
