title
Floating bubbles: an agent-based system for layout planning
Proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Computer Aided Architectural Design Research in Asia / Hong Kong 7-10 April 2010, pp. 175-183
summary
This program converts bubble diagram into an agent-based system for architectural design. The program suggests a model for layout planning based on bubble diagram which explicitly describes the adjacency requirements in architecture. Generally there is a basic set of rules for every agent dealing with adjacency topology and also an alternative set for other objectives. Then this basic program is developed into several generative tools for different design tasks. They imply that the agent-based system is efficient for elementary spatial arrangement and it could generate a wide range of complex solutions.
