“…In establishing such a settlement, our aims include architectural and urban planning related ones, such as accessibility, as well as technical ones, such as location in suitable sea water depths, etc. In [7], the authors investigated sustainable designs of floating settlements by using a multi-objective self-adaptive differential evolution (JDE) algorithm inspired by [6]. The main contribution of the JDE algorithm was to show that many architectural design problems are mainly multi-objective constrained real-parameter optimization problems.…”

“…The main contribution of the JDE algorithm was to show that many architectural design problems are mainly multi-objective constrained real-parameter optimization problems. This paper is an extension of [7] by developing a multi-objective harmony search (MOHS) algorithm for the same benchmark instance in order to identify a set of design alternatives for decision-makers. The basic harmony search (HS) algorithm is developed in [8,9].…”

This paper is concerned with the application of computational intelligence techniques to the conceptual design and development of a large-scale floating settlement. The settlement in question is a design for the area of Urla, which is a rural touristic region located on the west coast of Turkey, near the metropolis of Izmir. The problem at hand includes both engineering and architectural aspects that need to be addressed in a comprehensive manner. We thus adapt the view as a multi-objective constrained real-parameter optimization problem. Specifically, we consider three objectives, which are conflicting. The first one aims at maximizing accessibility of urban functions such as housing and public spaces, as well as special functions, such as a marina for yachts and a yacht club. The second one aims at ensuring the wind protection of the general areas of the settlement, by adequately placing them in between neighboring land masses. The third one aims at maximizing visibility of the settlement from external observation points, so as to maximize the exposure of the settlement. To address this complex multi-objective optimization problem and identify lucrative alternative design solutions, a multi-objective harmony search algorithm (MOHS) is developed and applied in this paper. When compared to the Differential Evolution algorithm developed for the problem in the literature, we demonstrate that MOHS achieves competitive or slightly better performance in terms of hyper volume calculation, and gives promising results when the Pareto front approximation is examined.

In order to realise SeaCities as depicted in this book, several individual projects, at a building (e.g. floating houses) and community (e.g. energy-water-food supply, transportation) levels, need to be designed to solve the inherent issues of such relatively unexplored urban concept.In this chapter, the focus is on the importance of modelling in providing a critical set of support tools to better inform SeaCities design and decision-making. The chapter is intended for the reader interested in SeaCities and relatively unfamiliar with the modelling world. The chapter is structured as follows: first, a brief justification of the need for modelling in SeaCities is provided ("WHY modelling"); this is followed by examples of systems, elements or parameters that will require modelling ("WHAT modelling"). Next, different modelling categories are introduced, based on different criteria, such as the type of inputs available or the type of output desired ("HOW modelling"). The chapter concludes with two case studies, selected as examples of an integrated, participatory systems approach which is suggested as being highly applicable to many of the future SeaCities modelling needs.
