Facądes constitute one of the fundamental systems of contemporary buildings. They serve multiple purposes, such as to ensure proper indoor climate, to provide sufficient daylight, but also to create a desirable architectural ...

Passenger terminals are very complex buildings not only in their function, form and structure but also in infrastructure, security, comfort, energy, which deal with huge investments, both in terms of capital, as well as ...

This paper presents the results obtained by NSGA-II and DE on a restaurant layout optimization problem, trying to maximize total profit while minimizing investment. The problem entails the configuration of restaurant ...

This paper focuses on the conceptual design and the development of a floating neighborhood by taking advantage of computational methods. An application to a concept design of a floating neighborhood in the region of Urla-A ...

Floating settlements, which introduce further design complexities over traditional developments, have become an alternative for urban development due to climate change and shortage of land. This study aims to develop a ...

This paper is concerned with the application of computational intelligence techniques to the conceptual design and development of a large-scale floating settlement. The settlement in question is a design for the area of ...

In performance-oriented architectural design, the use of advanced computational simulation tools may provide valuable insight during design. However, the use of such tools is often a bottleneck in the design process, given ...

In this paper, the design of a specific case study of a foyer space is concerned in healthcare facility. The design task of a healthcare facility in architectural perspective is one of the most challenging tasks in the ...

This paper presents the results obtained by NSGA-II and jDEMO on a restaurant design optimization in the conceptual phase. A multi-objective problem is formulated by considering the minimization of investment and the ...

Environmentally friendly and comfortable buildings are a much sought after goal in today's architectural practice. In order to improve energy consumption of buildings without sacrificing indoor comfort, careful consideration ...
