Automated floor plan generation is an important problem in computational architectural design. The goal is to construct a floor plan from user-defined room numbers and door requirements. The user specifies which rooms must share a door and which rooms must not be adjacent. However, these requirements do not determine the exact placement or shape of the rooms. The task is therefore to arrange the rooms in a single floor plan so that all required ... Read more ›

In the 21st century, the ancient pit dwelling is transformed into a "pit garden." In the "pit garden," the sun's heat replaces the fire to provide warmth in winter and the night breezes to cool the house in summer. This idea is based on the fact that the "ancestor" of the passive house, which collects heat in winter in the earthen floor, is the pit dwelling, which has a furnace in the center of the earthen floor. However, there is a crucial difference between a pit dwelling and a passive house. Read more ›

Traditional architectural design space exploration (DSE) is highly inefficient, typically requiring tens of thousands of simulator evaluations across various optimization methods. This inefficiency arises because conventional methods treat the simulator as a black-box oracle. In contrast, human architects effectively guide exploration by reasoning through physical constraints, performance bottlenecks, data reuse, and workload structures. To br... Read more ›
