Combining structural analysis and multi-objective criteria for evolutionary architectural design

EvoMUSART 2011, 9th European Event on Evolutionary and Biologically Inspired Music, Sound, Art and Design in EvoApplications, Torino, Italy, Apr 27-29, 2011This study evolves and categorises a population of conceptual designs by their ability to handle physical constraints. The design process involves a trade-off between form and function. The aesthetic considerations of the designer are constrained by physical considerations and material cost. In previous work, we developed a design grammar capable of evolving aesthetically pleasing designs through the use of an interactive evolutionary algorithm. This work implements a fitness function capable of applying engineering objectives to automatically evaluate designs and, in turn, reduce the search space that is presented to the user.Science Foundation Irelandti, ke, ab, co, de, li - TS 23.02.1
