Prototype of an Algorithm-Aided BIM Tool for Semi-Automated Generation of Modular Residential Buildings

Abstract

The research on novel design tools to enhance the production of residential buildings was the objective of this study. This ongoing research within the funded research project ``Housing 4.0'' aims to develop a BIM-based digital platform for ecological and affordable multi-storey housing. As part of the platform we developed the prototype of an Algorithm-aided BIM tool for the semi-automated generation of modular building designs.
