“…By obtaining the dimension and area relationship, the average space dimensions were extracted and the hospital plans examined were revealed with their spatial relations in this context and rule sets were created. Shape grammar method was carried out by following the adaptation of the space dimensions and traditional plan mentioned in Erem and Ermiyagil's study [17]. All the data obtained were used in the genetic algorithm to produce space by using the Grasshopper add-on and Galapagos module of the Rhino program and a model was defined by a circuit.…”

Health is one of the basic needs of humanity. People use hospitals to control and treat their health. As the most advanced health structures, hospitals have been transformed with new requirements and systems throughout history. Health structure design contains various inputs, data, and criteria. This study reveals the network of relations with a rule-based design method to provide systematic design assistance for architects. Hospitals have complex structures in terms of the design solution and production management. Therefore, it will be useful to systematize these complex structures for design inputs to create a base for the architectural program. Within the framework of this study, rule-based design approaches were adopted for hospital polyclinics. Polyclinics work independently but are linked to the main hospital system. Today the main design problems in polyclinics are accessibility and visibility. The main purpose of this study is to create a model base for alternative plan types by taking advantage of the productive method: rules-based design. Firstly, to consider the functional relations and distances among multiple units for an optimum solution, the study evaluates the existing working designs and their derivatives. Secondly, it addresses the optimization of hospital polyclinic design in terms of obtaining the minimum route overlap, minimum walking distance, and high visibility of the patients in the polyclinics. Thirdly, due to the repetitive nature of polyclinic spaces, the space grammar method has been used as a rule-based approach for the derivation of spaces. The genetic algorithm method used together with the shape grammar is included in the study to process the formal and numerical data and to compare the original design alternatives. The spatial sequence technique of Space Syntax is used as an evaluation method. In the mixed method of this study, the relational information obtained from existing hospitals has been resolved. These relations have created design rules for an outpatient polyclinic architectural program by binary and triplet relations. Alternative productions with the genetic algorithm tools have been generated through the Rhino / Grasshopper software extension. The generated plans have been evaluated with the spatial sequence technique of Space Syntax theory to explore optimum solutions for distance and visibility.

“…Considering Duarte [11] and Wang et al [12], the residential design world can be described as a hierarchical structure comprising materials, components, parts, rooms, dwellings, housings, neighborhoods, blocks, settlements, and towns, of which the housing, neighborhoods, and blocks have been the focus of the present study (Figure 1). Regarding housing, the individual buildings which comprised similarly shaped elements [13] were analyzed, such as in the case of Erem et al [14] who added Turkish rural housing grammars to the new rules, which can improve the adaptability of traditional housing after reconstruction. With regard to neighborhood, combinations of similar housing were considered, such as in the case of Herbert et al [15].…”

Affected by the development strategy of Rural Space Reconstruction in China, the demand for rural mass housing has peaked in the North China Plain in the past 20 years. However, due to the inefficiency of conventional design methods, the rural houses built appear to have a noticeable trend of urbanization and homogeneity. To propose a more effective design approach to change the hitherto unsuccessful homogenized phenomenon of rural design, the study is based on investigating the composition, configuration and characteristics of the dwellings in some traditional villages of the eastern Shandong Province, and it compares and analyzes the differences between conventional methods and generation methods through three design tests: Test 1 is for the reappearance of a general mode of planning, Test 2 is based on the definition of shape-grammar-based rules and Test 3 is mainly used for the optimizing and programming of rules. Furthermore, based on the three prototypes of homestead combination, three-level rules are determined through the three tests mentioned above: Level-1 describes the housing prototype consisting of four homesteads, which generates a variety of spatial relations through the translation of homesteads. Level-2 describes a neighborhood prototype consisting of 16 homesteads, which generates various samples through splitting prototypes and expanding homesteads. Level-3 describes a block prototype consisting of 64 homesteads, which controls open space and identifies a given base during sample filling. Through the analysis of the tests results, the rationality and feasibility of the generative design approach are verified, proving that this approach effectively solves the design monotony problem that commonly exists in rural mass housing in the North China Plain.

“…Materials are the most commonly used construction variable because they are the most rapidly updated and are closely related to advances in construction technology. Resident behavior variables were ranked according to the number of variables involved in the study of the continuity of residential architecture (top 10) in the following order: construction [43], cooking [46], rites [56], parties [39], sleep [40], socializing [8], maintenance [56], storage [49], rest [36], and feeding [46]. Construction, cooking, and ritual behaviors are also the primary focus of behavioral research because they are related to the everyday lives and spirituality of residential consumers.…”

As a significant component of rural settlements, residential architecture is a record of historical changes containing considerable research value. In the study of residential architectural continuity, the focus is on the inheritance and innovation of traditional residential architectural “genes” in contemporary new residential buildings. Based on a systematic review of the literature, the purpose of this study is to analyze the research trends, categories, and variables relating to architectural continuity in residential buildings, and to build a systematic and comprehensive framework for assessing the architectural continuity of residential buildings in rural settlements based on prior research. This study provides guidance and references for evaluating the design of new residential buildings in rural settlements and for formulating regional planning principles. Using the PRISMA guidelines as the basis for the review method, we filtered the literature from three databases: Web of Science (WoS), Scopus, and EI, and studied the 40 articles selected at the end. As can be seen from the results, the literature on architectural continuity in rural settlements has focused more on functional and typological levels and less on the archetypal level of architectural continuity (user behavior). Still, the archetypal level is the most important, because the behavior of housing users directly influences the degree to which housing is continuous in terms of its function and type. The most important finding of this review is that the resident behavior of housing users has a significant influence on the assessment of the continuity of housing architecture, and thus, the continuity of housing architecture in rural settlements must be assessed in conjunction with user behavior.
