Encoding Building Products: Creating a design workflow for a modular infill system using Discrete Building Information Modelling and Design Grammars

One million homes will be needed in the Netherlands by 2030. Prefabrication in the construction industry can contribute to construct affordable houses, but that results often in standardized and not customized designs. These repetitive designs can be overcome through the introduction of mass-customization in architecture. Computational...

GEN:ARCH: Platform for developing Architectural Configurations using Generative design Methodologies

The Constructing industry around the world is growing exponentially. In the Netherlands itself there is a need of constructing 1 million affordable new homes by 2030. Such a massive demand for new buildings has given rise to a need for a solution for mass customization of architectural configurations. Simple repetition or a badly configured...
