| summary |
Wave Function Collapse (WFC) is a constraint-solving algorithm inspired by the quantum mechanics process. However, few attempts have been made in the Architectural, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. WFC literature indicates that it is constrained by its low-fidelity, stochastic process, making it hard to apply in real-world designs, hence its potential lack of application in the AEC sector. Yet this research sees an opportunity in Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA). Unlike typical architectural projects, DfMA is often more constrained due to modularity. How the DfMA modularity benefits and constricts the spatial planning process, and if such a priori modular definition better informs the design process, is yet to be explored. Thus, how can the highly constrained spatial rules in DfMA architectural design be used in implementing WFC for higher-fidelity fast design concept prototyping? During the research, a prototype was experimented with and implemented while demonstrating several advantages jointly inherited from both the DfMA and WFC, namely (a) high-resolution rapid prototyping with little user intervention for early-stage DfMA and (b) further building material and topological analytics, were enabled for decision support. Hence, this paper addressed the rarely discussed early-stage design problems in the DfMA lifecycle and contributed to a real-world architectural project-based implementation of WFC integrated into an automated computer-aided architectural design workflow inspired by DfMA’s modularity that aligns with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of 11 Sustainable Cities and Communities and 12 Responsible Consumption and Production. |
