Optimizing floorplans via experimental algorithms
Recent computational tools that model the simulation of traffic, acoustics and heat conservation, among others, are allowing a more quantitative objective evaluation of forms. The metrics could be expanded to include terrain maps, sun paths, existing trees and other environmental input, allowing the buildings to be highly adaptive to their context. The physics simulation could force certain boundary shape constraints.
Evolving Floorplans is an experimental research project created by a New York-based programmer, Joel Simon. When approaching floorplan design solely through the angle of optimization, a genetic algorithm arranges the rooms and the flow of people in a manner that minimizes walking time, the use of hallways and etc. The layout 'grows' from the encoding using methods such as graph contraction and ant-colony inspired algorithm, resulting in something 'biological in appearance, intriguing in character and wildly irrational in practice'.
