摘要： In various embodiments, a computer-implemented method for generating a multi-objective model shared between multiple participants comprises receiving a first input associated with a first selectable component in a set of pre-defined selectable components associated with a shared design model, where the first selectable component is a first component type that is associated with a first persona in a plurality of personas, and each persona includes a distinct set of design goals that the shared design model represents in a multi-objective design problem, in response to the first input, modifying the shared design model to generate a modified shared design model that includes the first selectable component, and generating, based on the modified shared design model, a set of candidate design solutions that satisfy the distinct sets of design goals, where each candidate design solution includes additional selectable components of a second component type.

摘要： One or more embodiments disclose techniques for generating a layout for a physical space or a building. The techniques include generating a layout based on a floorplan of a physical space, generating a plurality of spatial unit grids corresponding to a plurality of spatial units to be placed in the physical space, identifying a placement for a first spatial unit grid in the plurality of spatial unit grids within the layout by matching a corner cell in the first spatial unit grid with a given available cell in the layout, generating a score associated with the placement for the first spatial unit grid based on one or more placement parameters that define placement constraints for a first spatial unit included in the plurality of spatial units and corresponding to the first spatial unit grid, and placing the first spatial unit grid in the layout based on the score.

摘要： An urban design pipeline is configured to automatically generate design options that meet competing design objectives. A geometry engine within the urban design pipeline generates candidate designs for an urban design project. An evaluation engine within the urban design pipeline evaluates the degree to which each candidate design addresses the competing design objectives to produce a set of design metrics. A tradeoff engine within the urban design pipeline generates a design tradeoff space based on the candidate designs and corresponding design metrics. The tradeoff engine traverses the design tradeoff space based on performance modifications to adjust the degree to which the competing design objectives are addressed. The performance modifications can be obtained from any number of stakeholders in the urban design project. In this manner, the urban design pipeline generates and/or modifies candidate designs to generate design options that balance competing design objectives that potentially originate from multiple stakeholders.

摘要： 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.

摘要： A design space analyzer generates a parametric model associated with a design problem. The design space analyzer then discretizes various parameters associated with the model and generates a plurality of sample designs using different combinations of discretized parameters. The design space analyzer also computes one or more metrics for each sample design. In this fashion, the design space analyzer generates a coarse approximation of the design space associated with the design problem. The design space analyzer then evaluates portions of that approximation, at both global and local scales, to identify portions of the design space that meet certain feasibility criteria. Finally, the design space analyzer modifies the design space to facilitate more efficient exploration during optimization.

摘要： 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.

摘要： Techniques are disclosed for designing manufacturing facilities. A design application imports a computer-aided design (CAD) model and metadata associated with a manufacturing facility to generate a data set that specifies geometric and manufacturing constraints of the manufacturing facility. The design application performs optimization operations based on the data set to identify one or more high-performing designs that assign components to docks in the manufacturing facility. The optimization operations can include genetic optimization operations that generate multiple generations of designs, each of which is evaluated based on a travel distance, congestion, and number of turns associated with paths traversed by components for the design.

摘要： An urban design pipeline automatically generates design options for an urban design project based on a financial model. The urban design pipeline includes a geometry engine that generates candidate designs to meet various design criteria and design objectives associated with the urban design project. The urban design pipeline also includes an evaluation engine that evaluates the candidate designs based on the financial model. The financial model quantifies the financial performance of any given candidate design. The urban design pipeline operates iteratively to improve the candidate designs until one or more convergence criteria are met, thereby generating a set of design options with acceptable financial performance.

摘要： A design engine is configured to automatically generate and position design elements within designs for a multi-family housing project that corresponds to a parcel of land. Each design simultaneously meets local construction regulations while also meeting specific financial targets. The design engine generates a site model that reflects geometric attributes of the parcel of land, a building model that describes one or more buildings configured to occupy the parcel of land, and a parking lot model that describes a parking lot configured to occupy a remaining portion of the parcel of land. A design simulator executes various types of physical simulations with the site model, the building model, and/or the parking lot model to generate a vast number of different design options having widely varying configurations of design elements. The design engine evaluates these design options to identify those which balance compliance with construction regulations and achievement of financial targets.

摘要： A design simulator executes a shape parameter engine that generates geometry corresponding to parking lots. The shape parameter engine implements a library of shapes, action markers, and construction rules to generate designs for parking lots. Each shape is a geometric the that can populate a design surface. Each action marker signifies an action that can occur at a specific location on the design surface. Each construction rule describes how shapes should be placed on the design surface relative to one or more action markers. The shape parameter generator tiles the design surface using the library of shapes, action markers, and construction rules to generate valid parking lot designs.
