Book synopsis

This book presents three projects that demonstrate the§fundamental problems of architectural design and urban composition - the layout§design, evaluation and optimization. Part I describes the functional layout§design of a residential building, and an evaluation of the quality of a town§square (plaza).§§The algorithm for the functional layout design is based on§backtracking using a constraint satisfaction approach combined with coarse grid§discretization. The algorithm for the town square evaluation is based on§geometrical properties derived directly from its plan.§§Part II introduces a crowd-simulation application for the§analysis of escape routes on floor plans, and optimization of a floor plan for§smooth crowd flow. The algorithms presented employ agent-based modeling and§cellular automata.§
