Abstract

The global expenditure of resources may be significantly reduced by optimizing building designs, especially at an early stage. This paper presents three methods for early stage building spatial design and optimization: (I) an evolutionary algorithm, (II) a simulation of design processes, and (III) a hybridization of methods (I) and (II). Both methods (I) and (II) naturally show advantages and disadvantages, which have been analysed. Accordingly, it is shown that hybridization successfully combines both the methods and their advantages while their disadvantages are diminished, yielding a method that can find better results in a more efficient approach.
