Designing in complexity: Simulation, integration, and multidisciplinary design optimization for architecture

Abstract: While the overall performance of buildings has been established to be heavily impacted by design decisions made during the early stages of the design process, design professionals are typically unable to explore design alternatives, or their impact on energy profiles, in a sufficient manner during this phase. The research presents a new design simulation methodology based on incorporating a prototype tool (H.D.S. Beagle) that combines parametric modeling with multi-objective optimization through an integrated … Show more

“…In computational design, automated methods that can provide a high number of optimal alternatives are highly desirable, as it is hard for the human designers to manually find optimal solutions, and they need a large solution pool in order to pick one that fits their aesthetic/subjective evaluation and/or to make a complex trade-off among different objectives that cannot be formalized into a single function [6,24]. One common method for generating alternatives is to use genetic algorithms [27].…”

“…Genetic algorithms are widely used in order to estimate it. The only knowledge available for the system to evaluate the optimality is in comparison with the other solutions that are also being evaluated during the optimization process [6]. Many apparently "optimal" solutions are actually discovered to be sub-optimal as we find more solutions.…”

“…The technical barriers impeding the objective of bringing dynamic properties to models are being removed and that objective is being pursued through parametric scripting (Nembrini et al, 2014), integration with BIM software (Gerber et al, 2013;Welle et al, 2011) and the recourse to shape grammars (Granadeiro et al, 2013).…”
