A parametric workflow for multi-objective optimization of solar-access trade-offs in neighborhood-scale infill design: a case study of Gorgan, Iran
(Energy and Buildings, 2026)Solar access in dense infill neighborhoods is shaped by building morphology and surrounding context, making climate-responsive housing design difficult under real planning constraints. This study ... -
Decoding the Architectural Genome: Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithms in Design
(Technology|Architecture + Design, 2022)The application of population-based optimization algorithms in design is heavily driven by the translation and analysis of various data sets that represent a design problem; in evolutionary-based ... -
Color-Patterns to Architecture Conversion through Conditional Generative Adversarial Networks
(Biomimetics, 2021)Often an apparent complex reality can be extrapolated into certain patterns that in turn are evidenced in natural behaviors (whether biological, chemical or physical). The Architecture Design field has ... -
Analytical evaluation of effective area of double corrugated cold-formed steel profiles for industrialized construction
(Structures, 2026)Double corrugated cold-formed steel (CFS) profiles are used in lightweight self-supporting industrial roofing systems, manufactured through cold roll-forming of thin steel sheets followed by press-forming ... -
