In this paper, we present GPLAN, a software aimed at constructing dimensioned floorplan
layouts using graph-theoretical and optimization techniques. For GPLAN, the adjacency …

This study proposes a graph theory based method for generating three-dimensional
architectural layouts on the target of creating space that provides rich perceptual experience …

A rectangular floor plan (RFP) is a floor plan in which plan's boundary and each room is a
rectangle. The problem is to construct a RFP for the given adjacency requirements, if it …

In this manuscript a new phenomenon of adjacency and closeness rating is proposed for
constructing the optimal facility layout design. In the proposed approach, the closeness …

In this paper, we present GPLAN, software aimed at constructing dimensioned floorplan
layouts based on graph-theoretical and optimization techniques. GPLAN takes user …

The collaborative optimization of workshop layout and scheduling is key to realizing the
efficient and orderly operation of manufacturing systems. To satisfy the low-entropy …

A floorplan (F) is a partition of a polygonal boundary (P) into n-regions satisfying the
adjacencies given by an n-vertex graph. Here, it is assumed that the sides of the polygonal …

Existing floor planning algorithms are mostly limited to rectangular room geometries. This
restriction is a significant reason why they are not used much in design practice. To address …

The facility layout approaches can generally be classified into two groups, constructive
approaches and improvement approaches. All improvement procedures require an initial …

An important task in the initial stages of most architectural design processes is the design of
planar floor plans, that are composed of non-overlapping rooms divided from each other by …
