Abstract: An urban design pipeline automatically generates design options for an urban design project. The urban design pipeline includes a geometry engine and an evaluation engine. The geometry engine analyzes design criteria and design objectives associated with the urban design project and then generates numerous candidate designs that meet the design criteria and optimize the design objectives to varying degrees. The evaluation engine evaluates each candidate design to generate a set of metrics. The geometry engine modifies the candidate designs based on corresponding metrics to generate candidate designs that better meet the design criteria and more effectively achieve the design objectives.

Abstract: A design engine is configured to interact with potential occupants of a structure in order to generate data that defines the usage preferences of those occupants. The design engine generates multiple candidate designs for the structure via a generative design process, and then evaluates each candidate design using a set of metrics determined relative to the usage preferences. Based on these evaluations, the design engine selects at least one candidate design that optimizes the set of metrics across all potential occupants.

Abstract: A design engine generates a spectrum of design options to solve an architectural design problem. When generating a given design option, the design engine processes a set of design objectives and design constraints to generate an initial design plan. The initial design plan defines generative regions where geometry can be created and non-generative regions where geometry creation is restricted. The design engine generates a set of pathways that divide the design plan into multiple parcels and then divides each parcel further to produce a collection of cells. The design engine selects specific cells for major programs and merges these cells with adjacent cells until program space requirements are met. The design engine distributes minor programs within the remaining unoccupied cells of the design plan, thereby producing the design option.

Abstract: A design engine includes a geometry module and a metric module that interoperate to generate optimal design options. The geometry module initially generates a spectrum of design options for a structure based on project constraints and design criteria set forth by potential occupants of the structure. The metric module then analyzes each design option and generates, for any given design option, a set of metrics that indicates how well the given design option meets the design criteria. The geometry module then generates additional design options in an evolutionary manner to improve the metrics generated for subsequent design options.
