Abstract
The logical design of the layout of a multi-storey building is a conceptually and numerically complex task which, if an acceptable algorithm can be devised, is ideally suited to a computer-aided approach.
Previous work in multi-storey layout planning at Liverpool[1] has been concerned with methods of defining vertical links. The present work considers the problem of allocation of activities to the various levels of a multi-storey building and computer-aided solution based on the use of techniques of cluster analysis is proposed. The principles of the computer program are described and its use in multi-storey layout planning is assessed.
