The transformation of urban and building design into green development is conducive to
alleviating resource and environmental problems. Building design largely determines …

Sustainable design is no longer an emerging debate. Data-driven urban and architectural
design faces several potential threats related to airflow modelling, including extreme wind …

Postponing performance analysis of buildings until the final stage of the design process
often leads to unexpected results, introducing errors and disrupting the architect's workflow …

High-rise building optimisation is becoming increasingly relevant owing to global population
growth and urbanisation trends. Previous studies have demonstrated the potential of high …

Long computational time poses a significant obstacle to the practical utilization of
performance-based generative design (PGD) in the early design stage. This study proposes …

The use of parametric and multi-objective optimization (MOO) as a new way of approaching
architectural design has been growing in line with current breakthroughs in computational …

ABSTRACT Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation is an important tool in the built
environment to analyse wind flow. However, long simulation times limit their utility in fast …

Efficiency and accuracy have been challenging in the design optimisation process driven by
building simulation. The literature review identified the limitations of previous studies …

The incorporation of physical environmental performance as a primary consideration in
building design can facilitate the harmonization of the built environment with the surrounding …

This paper addresses optimization problems subject to an objective function's evaluation‐
number constraint arbitrarily given in advance. These problems are practical for black‐box …
