Generative Design Research Methodology by Dr. Ir. Pirouz Nourian

 

Graph Algorithms for Architectural Design

If we can use a bubble diagram to study the relationship between different spaces, with the current new Turtle - Terse RDF Triple Language, Neo4j, graph-based programming language and graph algorithms, can it be applied for architectural design, can graph algorithms automate certain analysis to inspire design ideas?

with the help of Google:

• Algorithms in graph theory and their use for solving problems in architectural design (J.Roth & R.Hashimshony, )
• The Graph Geometry for Architectural Planning

and it's so easy to learn Cypher:

One of the common issues in the construction industry is to communicate effectively and interoperating among different software platforms, disciplines, organisations and working levels. Speckle is an open source (MIT) initiative for developing extensive Design and data communication and collaboration platform (Stefanescu, 2015). To find out more...

MIT’s Department of Urban Studies & Planning - Tutorials and Tools

DUSPviz is an initiative of MIT’s Department of Urban Studies & Planning to improve departmental capacity in data analysis, visual representation, and technological communication tools. The mission is to improve planning through the open sharing of knowledge and technology and teach concepts and fundamentals manifested through common communication tools and cutting edge technology.

Most of the DUSPviz workshops and sessions are preserved as tutorials for reference, this page contains DUSPviz tutorials and workshop materials, including videos, handouts, and datasets. While we try to get all material online, certain material does not lend itself to posting. Contact DUSPviz if you have a suggestion for a tutorial or resource, or to request material that might not be online. to find out more...
