Introduction
Data-driven architecture is about taking into
account this inputs coming from solar studies,
structural behavior, environmental performances,
flows of goods and people in order to create
optimized and non-standard solutions in response
to the complexity of our societies.
ROOF DESIGN

data, rain collection
optimization and airflow. This

Design Process:
There is a growing expectation for high performance design in architecture which
negotiates between the requirements of the client and the physical constraints of a
building site. Clients for building projects often challenge architects to maximize
view quality since it can significantly increase real estate value.
To pursue this challenge, architects typically move through several design revision
cycles to identify a set of design options which satisfy these view quality
expectations in coordination with other goals of the project
• However, reviewing a large quantity of design options within the practical time
constraints is challenging due to the limitations of existing tools for view
performance evaluation. These challenges include flexibility in the definition of
view quality and the ability to handle the expensive computation involved in
assessing both the view quality and the exploration of a large number of possible
design options.
• To address these challenges, we propose a catalogue-based framework that
enables the interactive exploration of conceptual building design options based
on adjustable view preferences. We achieve this by integrating a flexible
mechanism to combine different view measures with an indexing scheme for
view computation that achieves high performance and precision. Furthermore,
the combined view measures are then used to model the building design space as
a high dimensional scalar function.
• The topological features of this function are then used as candidate building
designs. Finally, we propose an interactive design catalogue for the exploration
of potential building designs based on the given view preferences. We
demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach through two use case scenarios
to assess view potential and explore conceptual building designs on sites with
high development likelihood in Manhattan, New York City.
. Compared to manual modelling techniques, this approach is not only highly accurate but can be extended to serve as a base for the further planning process.

Data driven design

• Communicating a design is difficult. The use of code, scripts and parametric

descriptions is a potential alleviation in this process. Codes are clear, precise,
readable descriptive algorithms that are potentially accessible across the entire
design team and can serve as future reference. It harvest building information in
formulas and explore various shapes as iterations.
• In such process the geometric model becomes a visual interpretation of this
dataset.
• In building design, their simplicity reduces the complexity of the geometric
model and allows for a more direct link to mature planning stages such as area
calculations, facade penalization and fabrication.
• For example, in the process of designing high-rise buildings, we can use
mathematical information models to determine the dimensions of the surfaces
and slabs of a high-rise structure.
