Design agency:prototyping multi-agent systems in architecture

摘要: This paper presents research on the prototyping of multi-agent systems for architectural design. It proposes a design exploration methodology at intersection architecture, engineering, and computer science. The motivation work includes exploring bottom up generative methods coupled with optimizing performance criteria including geometric complexity objective functions environmental, structural fabrication parameters. development framework initial experiments to provide solutions, which simultaneously satisfy complexly often contradicting objectives. prototypical algorithms are described through set different cases agents within this framework; generation facade panels light control; emergent shell structures; actual construction reciprocal frames; robotic fabrication. Initial results include derived efficiencies environmental discussion future steps inclusion human factors.
