The research integrates a wide range of methodologies—spanning Artificial Intelligence and Parametric Modelling—to solve complex problems in energy consumption and spatial design
One of the main problems in the AEC industry is HVAC consumption in buildings. The reasons for reducing energy consumption vary. There are clear economic reasons, as a good energy consumption strategy could lead to reduced energy costs and impact financial savings for consumers. Reducing energy use...
Genetic algorithms perform highly efficiently when all the parameters are connected, and it is not possible to maximize one value without affecting the others. For this experiment, a GA is used as a design exploration tool. A binary list 1,0,1,0,0,0,1 represents a series of cubes stacked together...
The experiment was developed using Genr8, a surface design tool based on cellular growth models that interact with a defined environment. Genr8 blends universal growth patterns and evolutionary search to evolve adaptive surfaces with features specified by the user.
The software works as a plugin...
La revista "de arquitectura" de la universidad de Chile publico parte de la investigacion sobre algoritmos geneticos aplicados al diseño, presentado en el congreso de sigradi'06. La investigacion explora la generacion de formas a traves de un algoritmo basado en el movimiento del caballo sobre el...
