This work introduces Evolutionary Architectural Space layout Explorer (EASE), a design tool that facilitates the optimization of 3D space layouts. EASE addresses architectural design exploration and the need to attend to many alternatives simultaneously in layout design. For this, we use evolutionary optimization to find a balance between divergent exploration and convergent exploitation. EASE comprises a novel sub-heuristic that constructs valid spatial layouts, a mathematical framework to quantify the satisfaction of constraints, and evolutionary operators to improve alternative layouts' fitness. We test EASE on the design of a library building. We evaluate EASE's performance for different building forms and different evolutionary algorithm parameters. The results suggest that EASE can generate valid layouts, quantify the constraints' degree of satisfaction and find a number of optimal layout solutions. The layouts that EASE generates are intended not as end results but design artifacts that provide insight into the solution space for further exploration.

An immersive performative architectural design tool with daylighting simulations: a building information modeling-based approach
Akin, Sahin; Ergun, Oguzcan; Sürer, Elif; Gürsel Dino, İpek (Emerald, 2020-11-01)
Purpose In performative architectural design, daylighting is a crucial design consideration; however, the evaluation of daylighting in the design process can be challenging. Immersive environments (IEs) can create a dynamic, multi-sensory, first-person view in computer-generated environments, and can improve designers' visual perception and awareness during performative design processes. This research addresses the need for interactive and integrated design tools for IEs toward better-performing architectur...
Simplified model for computer-aided analysis of integral bridges
Dicleli, Murat (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2000-08-01)
This paper presents a computer-aided approach for the design of integral-abutment bridges. An analysis procedure and a simplified structure model are proposed for the design of integral-abutment bridges considering their actual behavior and load distribution among their various components. A computer program, for the analysis of integral-abutment bridges, has been developed using the proposed analysis procedure and structure model. The program is capable of analyzing an integral-abutment bridge for each con...
Optimal load and resistance factor design of geometrically nonlinear steel space frames via tabu search and genetic algorithm
DEĞERTEKİN, SADIK ÖZGÜR; Saka, M. P.; HAYALİOĞLU, MEHMET SEDAT (Elsevier BV, 2008-01-01)
In this paper, algorithms are presented for the optimum design of geometrically nonlinear steel space frames using tabu search and genetic algorithm. Tabu search utilizes the features of short-term memory facility (tabu list) and aspiration criteria. Genetic algorithm employs reproduction, crossover and mutation operators. The design algorithms obtain minimum weight frames by selecting suitable sections from a standard set of steel sections such as American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) wide-flange...
Linear static analysis of large structural models on pc clusters
Özmen, Semih; Toker, Kurç; Department of Civil Engineering (2009)
This research focuses on implementing and improving a parallel solution framework for the linear static analysis of large structural models on PC clusters. The framework consists of two separate programs where the first one is responsible from preparing data for the parallel solution that involves partitioning, workload balancing, and equation numbering. The second program is a fully parallel nite element program that utilizes substructure based solution approach with direct solvers. The first step of data...
A bat-inspired algorithm for structural optimization
Hasançebi, Oğuzhan; Pekcan, Onur (Elsevier BV, 2013-11-01)
Bat-inspired (BI) search is a recently developed numerical optimization technique that makes use of echolocation behavior of bats in seeking a design space. This study intends to explore capabilities and potentials of this newly developed method in the realm of structural optimization. A novel algorithm is developed that employs basic principles of this method for structural optimization problems specifically. Performance of the proposed algorithm is measured using one benchmark as well as three practical t...
