Topo-Metric Variations for Design Optimization: Introducing a Generative Model for simultaneously varying metric and topological properties of facade geometry

The conception of a Generative Model (GM) is an important step when applying optimization methods in architectural design. The variant spectrum generable with a GM determines if an optimal solution for the different demands placed on a design can be found. Using the example of optimizing façades (more specifically window-layouts), it is shown...
