| summary |
Automated space layout planning has been a long-standing problem in the field of computer-aided design. The challenge lies in generating an optimal space design that has a well-defined vision and a multitude of competing objectives and evaluation measures. Computational approaches assisted designers in exploring design solutions and fulfilling some non-geometric goals more effectively and efficiently. However, quantifying spatial qualities for computational representations is challenging, especially where a multitude of interrelated objectives are needed to be met, such as wayfinding, maximizing views to outside, maximizing visibility, and minimizing travel, alongside the functional relations of the spaces with each other. Moreover, there could be a change in these intended objectives, which requires space design adaptation. Thus, there is a need for more flexible, fast, and automated design tools to be used in the design process. This paper presents a framework to generate optimal architectural space planning solutions through an interactive design system that takes geometrical, topological, and performance goals and design constraints as input. This system is based on data structure representations combined with evaluation and optimization algorithms and a parametric representation. Through a theoretical and analytical inductive study of the previous research in this field, defined steps for a computational approach for space planning optimization was proposed by presenting architect-friendly tools and graphics to simplify producing realistic optimal solutions for the required space planning problems. |
