Development of Topological Optimisation Techniques for the Conceptual Design of Multi-storey Buildings

多层建筑概念设计拓扑优化技术的发展。建筑设计过程通常从基于案例的初步设计开始，该设计的主要参数和特征来自于许多具有相似尺寸和功能的现有建筑。本项目旨在开发一种设计工具，在多层建筑物的概念设计中结合两种拓扑优化技术。该设计工具将使低效材料自动从设计中删除，从而产生结构高效的建筑系统。与此同时，设计师可以使用这些优化技术生成的新拓扑来为建筑物创造创新的形式和布局。

Development of Topological Optimisation Techniques for the Conceptual Design of Multi-storey Buildings. The building design process often begins with a case based preliminary design which derives its main parameters and features from a number of existing buildings of similar dimensions and functionality. This project aims to develop a design tool which incorporates two topological optimisation techniques in the conceptual design of multi-storey buildings. This design tool will enable inefficient materials to be automatically removed from the design, thus producing a structurally efficient building system. At the same time, the new topologies generated by these optimisation techniques can be used by the designer to create innovative forms and layouts for the building.
