A generalized linear model for optimization of architectural planning

Abstract

In the realm of architectural planning there exists a type of problem with which designers are frequently confronted where financial return is the most appropriate measure of the system's effectiveness. In this category can be included all rental and speculative housing (single and multiple family dwellings), office buildings, warehouses, stores, many industrial facilities, etc., and building complexes which combine some or all of these to provide comprehensive services to the tenant.
