چکیده
This article presents an optimization model of the quantifiable aspects of architectural floorplan layout design, and a companion article presents a method for integrating mathematical optimization and subjective decision making during conceptual design. The model presented here offers a new approach to floorplan layout optimization that takes advantage of the efficiency of gradient-based algorithms, where appropriate, and uses evolutionary algorithms to make discrete decisions and do global search. Automated optimization results are comparable to other methods in this research area, and the new formulation makes it possible to integrate the power of human decision-making into the process.

A NEW MEMETIC SWARM OPTIMIZATION FOR SPECTRAL LAYOUT DESIGN OF BRACED FRAMES
For most practical purposes, true topology optimization of a braced frame should be synchronized with its sizing. An integrated layout optimization is formulated here to simultaneously account for both member sizing and bracings’ topology in such a problem. Code-specific seismic design spectrum is applied to unify the earthquake excitation. The problem is solved for minimal structural weight un...
متن کاملArchitectural Synthesis via VHDL
In this paper, we present results from our experiments integrating an architectural synthesis tool, SandS, into the Keystone VLSI design environment. The resulting Architectural VHDL Synthesis tool is called TinkerTool. It provides a means by which a designer can conceive and con gure complex designs in a high level behavioral language to automatically generate hierarchical VHDL. The tool allow...
متن کاملOptimizing RFID Portal Locations in Distribution using Systematic Layout Planning (SLP)
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has become important to distribution and logistics operations due to current mandates by Wal-Mart and the Department of Defense. In order to meet these mandates, distribution operations have to re-layout their distribution facilities to accommodate these RFID systems. This transcript describes a layout algorithm that supports optimizing the design of RFID s...
متن کاملIntegrated Structural-Architectural Design for Interactive Planning
Traditionally, building floorplans are designed by architects with their usability, functionality, and architectural aesthetics in mind, however, the structural properties of the distribution of load-bearing walls and columns are usually not taken into account at this stage. In this paper we propose a novel approach for the design of architectural floorplans by integrating structural layout ana...
متن کاملNew advances in the automated architectural space plan layout problem
Over the past four decades several computer models have been developed to solve what has come to be known as the space planning problem in architectural design. Although, space planning cannot be defined as an independent problem in the whole architectural design process, the problem is important if considered within the context of the design process itself, i.e. exploring the topological optio...
