Prototypes for automated architectural 3D-layout

Abstract

Prototypes for automated spatial layout in architecture focus on approaches, which define occupiable space as an orthogonal 2D-grid and use algorithms to allocate each rectangle of the grid to a particular function. However, these approaches are limiting the design to 2D spatial layouts. Based on SAT solving techniques, the prototype presented in this paper proposes a methodology for automated 3D-space planning for voxelized curvilinear geometries. © 2008 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
