Abstract

This research hypothesizes that designers can use engineering problem-solving tools such as topology optimization for architectural design explorations beyond optimizing a design domain with predefined boundary conditions. Engineering, in this sense, is not just an after-the-fact consideration or an assessment tool but an integrative part of the design process. We selected the design of architectural precast concrete elements for façades as a case study to demonstrate how defining the design problem leads to different solutions. The discipline of architecture has increased awareness of the environmental impact of material use; thus, it is important to employ design methods that create structural geometries that do more with less. The results of this study demonstrate innovative design approaches for designers.
拓扑优化:预制板的案例研究
这项研究假设,设计师可以使用工程问题解决工具,如拓扑优化,进行建筑设计探索,而不仅仅是优化具有预定义边界条件的设计领域。从这个意义上说,工程不仅仅是事后的考虑或评估工具,而是设计过程的一个整体部分。我们选择了建筑预制混凝土元素的设计作为案例研究,以展示如何定义设计问题导致不同的解决方案。建筑学科提高了人们对材料使用对环境影响的认识;因此,重要的是采用设计方法来创建结构几何,以更少的资源做更多的事情。本研究的结果为设计师展示了创新的设计方法。
