Parametric design process basing on building physical performance

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to investigate general workflow of parametric architecture design basing on building physical performance. Earlier study on parametric design have shown that this method can effectively improve quality and diversity in terms of architecture appearance. In addition, design time could also be saved in this way. Nevertheless, research about parametric design on building configuration basing on building physical performance is still insufficient. Hence, this study investigates the specific workflow of parametric design in the basis of building performance. The result show that whole workflow can be divided into three steps:1) variables input 2) objective function determination 3) optimization operation. Combination of different component conducts in every step and realize final optimal scheme.
