This paper presents a novel hybrid approach for generating automated 2D architectural
layouts by combining agent-based modeling with deep learning algorithms. The primary …

Due to the critical need for reducing carbon emissions, the demand for energy-efficient
building design is urgent. Studies have shown that space layouts affect energy performance …

Abstract This work introduces Evolutionary Architectural Space layout Explorer (EASE), a
design tool that facilitates the optimization of 3D space layouts. EASE addresses …

This paper presents an optimization model that enables construction planners to generate
and analyze optimal tradeoffs between minimizing the total cost of modular construction …

Computational design is one of the most common tasks of immersive computer graphics
projects, such as games, virtual reality and special effects. Layout planning is a challenging …

This article is motivated by the fact that in Cape Town, South Africa, approximately 7.5
million people live in informal settlements and focuses on potential upgrading strategies for …

In this paper, we present a method for generating fast conceptual urban design prototypes.
We synthesize spatial configurations for street networks, parcels and building volumes …

This paper proposes a framework for supporting the design process by defining design
requirements over graph-based representations of designs. First, hierarchical layout …
