“…In consideration of the skin of the building, Znouda, Ghrab-Morcos, and Hadj-Alouane [74] used GA to minimise the global monetary cost for four different economic scenarios based on gas and electricity. For the investigation of trade-offs between the minimisation of the construction cost and energy need objectives, Talbourdet, Michel, Andrieux, Millet, Mankibi, and Vinot [75], used NSGA-II for an office building. Wright, Brownlee, Mourshed, and Wang [76], also optimised a commercial building in order to minimise the energy use and capital cost objectives using NSGA-II by considering several optimisation experiments.…”

This study presents a systematic review and summary of performative computational architecture using swarm and evolutionary optimisation. The taxonomy for one hundred types of studies is presented herein that includes different sub-categories of performative computational architecture, such as sustainability, cost, functionality, and structure. Specifically, energy, daylight, solar radiation, environmental impact, thermal comfort, life-cycle cost, initial and global costs, energy use cost, space allocation, logistics, structural assessment, and holistic design approaches, are investigated by considering their corresponding performance aspects. The main findings, including optimisation and all the types of parameters, are presented by focussing on different aspects of buildings. In addition, usage of form-finding parameters of all reviewed studies and the distributions for each performance objectives are also presented. Moreover, usage of swarm and evolutionary optimisation algorithms in reviewed studies is summarised. Trends in publications, published years, problem scales, and building functions, are examined. Finally, future prospects are highlighted by focussing on different aspects of performative computational architecture in accordance to the evidence collected based on the review process.

“…Regarding performance-based shape design decision assistance, Talbourdet et al [26] and Lu et al [27] researched office buildings and performing arts halls and used performance simulation to design a series of similar design solutions. The performance was compared to provide suggestions for the architect's design modification.…”

The Yangtze River Delta is a relatively developed area with many detached houses in the suburbs. Such detached houses are usually 1–3 stories high, mostly self-built by local people. Due to the lack of passive design guidance in the design and construction process, these houses’ energy consumption is usually high. At present, residents in the area use air conditioners, fans, and other electrical equipment in their daily lives. This paper takes detached houses in the suburbs of Ningbo as the research objects, through performance simulation and big data mining of a large number of generated samples, and proposes a passive design strategy suitable for the local building form and envelope structure, which can guide local housing construction.

“…However, the suitability for the building performance is not validated at this stage. Thus, these parameters should be optimized at the next design stage [ 13 ]. In addition, façade composition including glazing type and thickness for external walls might be dedicated based on green building guidelines.…”

Applying data mining techniques on a database of BIM models could provide valuable insights in key design patterns implicitly present in these BIM models. The architectural designer would then be able to use previous data from existing building projects as default values in building performance simulation software for the early phases of building design. The author has proposed the method to minimize the magnitude of the variation in these default values in subsequent design stages. This approach maintains the accuracy of the simulation results in the initial stages of building design. In this study, a more convincing argument is presented to demonstrate the significance of the new method. The variation in the ideal default values for different building design conditions is assessed first. Next, the influence of each condition on these variations is investigated. The space depth is found to have a large impact on the ideal default value of the window to wall ratio. In addition, the presence or absence of lighting control and natural ventilation has a significant influence on the ideal default value. These effects can be used to identify the types of building conditions that should be considered to determine the ideal default values.
