“…Procedural systems are also used in the context of facade modeling: PRZEMYSLAW MUSIALSKI et al present an interactive framework for modeling building facades from images [102]. FAN BAO et al show a technique to create procedural facade variations from a single layout [103]. MICHAEL SCHWARZ et al present an approach for designing exterior lighting for buildings with complex constraints [104].…”

In the context of computer-aided design, computer graphics and geometry processing, the idea of generative modeling is to allow the generation of highly complex objects based on a set of formal construction rules. Using these construction rules, a shape is described by a sequence of processing steps, rather than just by the result of all applied operations: shape design becomes rule design. Due to its very general nature, this approach can be applied to any domain and to any shape representation that provides a set of generating functions. The aim of this survey is to give an overview of the concepts and techniques of procedural and generative modeling, as well as their applications with a special focus on archeology and architecture.

“…On a coarse scale, the procedural paradigm is applicable to the generation of terrain using methods based on hydrology (Génevaux et al, 2013), as well as the generation of roads (Galin et al, 2010), entire city layouts (Lipp et al, 2011) and urban spaces (Vanegas et al, 2010). Within the scale of a building, layouts can be generated (Merrell et al, 2010), (Bao et al, 2013b) exhibiting different façades (Musialski et al, 2012a), (Bao et al, 2013a). Exterior Lighting can be designed even for buildings with complex constraints (Schwarz and Wonka, 2014).…”

“…It is not clear how these building layout algorithms can be extended to non-rectangular rooms, a challenge we want to tackle in this paper. Facade layouts can also be generated by resizing boxes [Lin et al 2011;Dai et al 2013;Bao et al 2013]. Urban layout design [Aliaga et al 2008b;Aliaga et al 2008a;Yang et al 2013] is an example problem in which the boundary of the domain is more complex and the elements can be deformed in a more general fashion.…”

Figure 1: Our framework is able to generate layouts that meet both accessibility and aesthetic criteria for arbitrarily shaped (e.g., non-axis aligned) domains. Here, we show several floorplan layouts for a pentagon-shaped building. The accessibility criteria specify that all rooms are connected to the elevators via a singly connected corridor. The aesthetic criteria specify the admissible deformations for the rooms. Upper-left: A set of tile templates to build the corridor: (1) predefined locations of the corridor, (2) first-level branches of the corridor, and (3) second-level branches of the corridor. Observe how these topological constraints are enforced by the the edge-color constraints of the tiles. Bottom-left: A set of deformable room templates. The doors are constrained to be at the red edges (alternative locations are marked with a star). Certain rooms are deformable to be quads with two right angles. Right: We show three distinct floorplan designs for different floors of the building. The different designs are achieved by different predefined locations of the corridor (grey parts in the sub-figures in the upper-right corners). The corridor branches and the rooms are then found by our discrete tiling algorithm in a way such that rooms are placed with a higher priority. Finally, the mesh geometry is optimized to minimize the deviations of the rooms from their admissible shapes and the straightness of the room boundaries. AbstractIn this paper, we tackle the problem of tiling a domain with a set of deformable templates. A valid solution to this problem completely covers the domain with templates such that the templates do not overlap. We generalize existing specialized solutions and formulate a general layout problem by modeling important constraints and admissible template deformations. Our main idea is to break the layout algorithm into two steps: a discrete step to lay out the approximate template positions and a continuous step to refine the template shapes. Our approach is suitable for a large class of applications, including floorplans, urban layouts, and arts and design.
