Generative and Evolutionary Techniques for Building Envelope Design

چکیده
The authors have been involved in the use of generative techniques for building envelope design since 1968 and the use of genetic algorithms since 1990. Recent work has focused on incorporating optimisation functions into form generating processes in order for new forms responding to varied design environments to be created and determined. This paper will summarise the authors’ previous work in this field and explain the theory behind this approach, and illustrate recent developments. While the initial implementation of a new building envelope design system is reported in more details in a related paper at this conference, this paper outlines its main features and points out the direction at which it is to be fully developed and further improved.

Dynamic Envelope and Control Shading Pattern to Visual Comfort of Office Building in Tehran
This work reviews the effect of parametric programming on visual performance, daylighting and shading in office buildings in Tehran-Iran and studies their influences that help not only to reduce the glare but also to promote useful daylight illuminance through promoting visual comfort. It starts by establishing a review of the effective parameters on visual comfort indices, glare indices, and d...

Climate is one of the many factors such as socio-cultural values, economics, materials,administrative factors and technology that influence architectural forms. The climatic solutions effecting on architecture,differ in various regions, cultures, time and technology. The climate of the province of Golestan plays an active rolein the formation and diversity of vernacular dwellings. This region i...
متن کاملGenerative Techniques for Building Virtual Objects
Many generative methods in arts and science are available. This paper presents a review of various generative methods oriented to the building of virtual objects useful in virtual reality applications. Grammars, automata, and evolutionary strategies are some classes of generative methods. The paper is dedicated both to Alan Turing and John von Neumann.
متن کاملCreating Complex Building Blocks through Generative Representations
One of the main limitations for the functional scalability of computer automated design systems is the representation used for encoding designs. Using computer programs as an analogy, representations can be thought of as having the properties of combination, control-flow and abstraction. We define generative representations as those which have the ability to reuse elements in an encoding throug...
متن کاملThe Advantages of Generative Grammatical Encodings for Physical Design
One of the applications of evolutionary algorithms is the automatic creation of designs. For evolutionary techniques to scale to the complexities necessary for actual engineering problems, it has been argued that generative systems, where the genotype is an algorithm for constructing the final design, should be used as the encoding. We describe a system for creating generative specifications by...
