Speeches
In a field of Architecture, design is often divided into architectural, structural and building service design. Usually architectural design is a process of calculating and verifying the performance and safety of the building form proposed by the architect. In recent years, the rapid development in 3D-CAD has allowed extensive application of parametric design in the field of architectural design. In contrast, parametric design has not been applied to the fields of structural and building physics design very often, and optimization of overall building performance has rarely been discussed. This presentation introduces our recent works in architecture to solve and optimize complex structural forms, and produce unique design solutions by utilizing modeFRONTIER in the field of parametric modeling, automated design, and multi-objective optimization.
