  • Discrete Optimization in Architecture

    Architectural & Urban Layout

    by Machi Zawidzki ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    This book presents three projects that demonstrate the fundamental problems of architectural design and urban composition – the layout design, evaluation and optimization. Part I describes the functional layout design of a residential building, and an evaluation of the quality of a town square (plaza).The algorithm for the functional layout design is based on backtracking using a constraint ...

  • Discrete Optimization in Architecture

    Building Envelope

    by Machi Zawidzki ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    This book explores the extremely modular systems that meet two criteria: they allow the creation of structurally sound free-form structures, and they are comprised of as few types of modules as possible. Divided into two parts, it presents Pipe-Z (PZ) and Truss-Z (TZ) systems. PZ is more fundamental and forms spatial mathematical knots by assembling one type of unit (PZM). The shape of PZ is ...

  • Urban Wind Environment

    Integrated Climate-Sensitive Planning and Design

    by Chao Yuan ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    In the context of urbanization and compact urban living, conventional experience-based planning and design often cannot adequately address the serious environmental issues, such as thermal comfort and air quality. The ultimate goal of this book is to facilitate a paradigm shift from the conventional experience-based ways to a more scientific, evidence-based process of decision making in both urban ...

  • Discrete Optimization in Architecture

    Extremely Modular Systems

    by Machi Zawidzki ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    This book is comprised of two parts, both of which explore modular systems: Pipe-Z (PZ) and Truss-Z (TZ), respectively. It presents several methods of creating PZ and TZ structures subjected to discrete optimization. The algorithms presented employ graph-theoretic and heuristic methods. The underlying idea of both systems is to create free-form structures using the minimal number of types of ... Read more
