3D Generative Adversarial Networks to Autonomously Generate Building Geometry

Across the world, countries are facing housing shortages and the Netherlands is no different. The increasing demand for new housing exceeds the growth rate of the architecture, engineering, and construction industry. Current solutions remain small in scale and therefore unsustainable. Multi-family housing is the optimal typology to address the...

Deep Generative Design: A Deep Learning Framework for Optimized Spatial Truss Structures with Stock Constraints

Energy use, CO2 emissions, and waste production are all significant causes of environmental issues. The building sector is a major contributor to these problems, specifically the manufacturing of (structural) steel elements. Application of reuse and/or remanufacturing, as done in a circular economy, will reduce these effects. Therefore, these...
