Manthilake, Inoka. "Evolutionary building layout optimisation." Thesis, Loughborough University, 2011. https://dspace.lboro.ac.uk/2134/8337.
Full textAbstract:
Space layout planning (SLP) is the organisation of functional/living spaces (spatial units-SUs) and corridors/access paths of a building satisfying requirements (e.g. accessibility, adjacency etc.) to achieve design goals (e.g. minimising unutilised space and travelling cost). Out of many ways of arranging SUs, a human designer may consider only a handful of alternatives due to resource limitations (e.g. time and effort). To facilitate this task, decision support for SLP design can be obtained using computer technology. Despite being highly combinatorial, many attempts have been made to automate SLP. However in the majority of these, the SUs are arranged in a fixed building footprint/boundary, which may limit exploration of the entire solution space. Thus, it is aimed to develop a space layout optimisation system that allows SUs to position themselves in a building site to satisfy design goals. The objectives of the research are to: understand architectural SLP and optimisation; assess the need for automation of SLP optimisation; explore methods to formulate the SLP optimisation problem; develop a prototype system to optimise SLP based on building design guidelines, and evaluate performance for its strengths and weaknesses using case studies. As early stages of building design are found to be most e ective in reducing the environmental impact and costs, it is also aimed to make provisions for integrating these aspects in SLP. To address the first three objectives, a literature review was conducted. The main finding of this was the current need for an optimisation tool for SLP. It also revealed that genetic algorithms-GA are widely used and show promise in optimisation. Then, a prototype space layout optimisation system (Sl-Opt) was developed using real-valued GA and was programed in JavaR. Constrained optimisation was employed where adjacency and accessibility needs were modelled as constraints, and the objective was to minimise the spread area of the layout. Following this, using an office layout with 8 SUs, Sl-Opt was evaluated for its performance. Results of the designed experiment and subsequent statistical tests showed that the selected parameters of GA operators influence optimisation collectively. Finally using the best parameter set, strengths and weaknesses of Sl-Opt were evaluated using two case studies: a hospital layout problem with 31 SUs and a problem with 10 non-rectangular SUs. Findings revealed that using the selected GA parameters Sl-Opt can successfully solve small scale problems of about less than 10 SUs. For larger prob- lems, the parameters need to be altered. Case studies also revealed that the system is capable of solving problems with non-rectangular SUs with varied 0rientations. Sl-Opt appear to have potential as a building layout decision support tool, and in addition, integration of other aspects such as energy efficiency and cost is possible.

Tzortzi, Kali. "The interaction between building layout and display layout in museums." Thesis, University College London (University of London), 2007. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/4979/.
Full textAbstract:
A key issue, theoretical as well as practical, in the design of museums and galleries is how the layout of space interacts with the layout of objects to express an intended message or realise a specific effect. This issue can be addressed against the background of a coherent body of literature which, using the space syntax theory and method, offers a certain rigour in the analysis of spatial layouts, and within the context of a smaller, less systematic body of object layout studies which, focusing on curatorial intent, looks only obliquely at space. It is the intention of this thesis to try to develop a synthetic overview of spatial and object layout within a single theoretical framework, seeking to contribute to a better understanding of museum morphology. This combined framework is built through a series of paired case studies of European museums and galleries specially selected, and designed to allow the pursuit of specific theoretical questions. The aim of these case studies is illuminative and explorative rather than exhaustive, since each case study is intensive and requires a protracted period of field work. The analysis sets out from the conspicuous similarities between each pair of museums, which set the background for exploring critical differences with resp ect to the layout of space and objects, and as manifested in the observable patterns of visiting. The ideas generated from this analysis are then used to describe the main dimensions of variability of spatial layout, display strategies and visiting patterns. On this basis, the study proposes a theoretical model that relates these dimensions of variability, and shows them to derive from a set of basic principles, given as possibilities to be explored and combined. Depending on the way museums use these principles, it is possible to distinguish between museums that intend to convey a pre-given meaning and reproduce information, and museums that aim at creating fields of possible meaning and producing a richer spatial structure.

Morgan, David Charles. "Site layout and construction planning." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 1986. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/11627/.
Full textAbstract:
The current usage of site layout information in construction planning techniques is investigated, and the layout development methods used in other fields such as Architecture and Production engineering are also reviewed. The limitations, applicability and potential of these models is discussed. The layout of a construction site affects the manner in which construction plans are formed. This research is an attempt to isolate the site layout factors which are taken into account in the planning stages of a project. The layout of a construction site may be utilised in the formation of construction plans in two ways. Firstly, the large scale layout of the structures may influence the order in which the structures are built. Secondly, the small scale layout of the work within each individual structure will determine the order in which that work will be carried out. A model has been developed which uses the two types of site layout information for the structure and activity sequencing in the production of construction plans on a micro-computer. The practicality and performance of this model has been tested by comparison of the plans produced with those produced with other planning methods and those produced in industry. The feasibility of the integration of this model with Computer-aided design packages has been discussed with a view to producing construction plans automatically from the contract drawings.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis: M. Eng., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2018.Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 46-47).
Deciding on the appropriate layout of shear walls and the thickness of each member is an iterative process that is time consuming and often leads to suboptimal results. Every time the stiffness of the building is modified, the structural designer must ensure deflection and inter-story drift limits are respected followed by flexural, shear and torsional strength checks for each shear wall. A computational optimization framework has the potential to limit the design time, but most importantly to identify layout configurations with lower costs, weight, embodied carbon and with increased consideration for architectural constraints. Additionally, an optimization framework can provide a strong tool for early stage, pre-conceptual idea exploration and thereby lead to an increased collaboration between architects and engineers. This thesis presents an approach that allows the structural designer to design the shear wall layout of a three-dimensional structure using a linearized modal analysis and a modified genetic algorithm. The presented design scheme uses a ground structure approach as it allows for architectural constraints to be embedded in the design. The objective is defined as a cost function that incorporates material cost and constructability. The proposed framework is used to design the shear wall layout of a building under wind and seismic load cases and is compared to the design obtained with conventional methods. Key terms: Shear wall layout, reinforced concrete, structural optimization, topology optimization, genetic algorithm, dynamic analysis, three-dimensional analysis, cost analysis of lateral systems, tall buildings

Lu, Yi. "Directed visibility analysis: three case studies on the relationship between building layout, perception and behavior." Diss., Georgia Institute of Technology, 2011. http://hdl.handle.net/1853/39569.
Full textAbstract:
This is a study of the spatial affordances of buildings that allow them to organize and transmit cultural ideas and to support the performance of organizational roles. The particular affordances under consideration are those that arise from the manner in which buildings structure the visual fields that are potentially available to a situated observer.
In studying directed visibility patterns, supported by the development of appropriate analytical tools, we focus on a previously specified set of visual targets and ask how many become visible from each occupiable location. Parametric restrictions concerning the direction into which a subject faces and the viewing angle sustained by the target object are also taken into consideration. The aim is to demonstrate how such refinements of visibility analysis, lead to more precise and penetrating insights as to how building users tune their behavior to the spatial affordances of environment, and how the environment impacts their understanding in turn. Three different studies were presented. The fist used directed visibility measures to evaluate the affordances of different nursing-unit designs relative to how well nurses are able to survey patients in different rooms as they go about their duties. The second study focuses on the manner in which nurses and physicians position themselves in a Neuro Intensive Care Unit (ICU), particularly when interacting. The third study investigates how aware exhibition visitors become of the visual structure of environment and how the visibility structure of exhibitions affects the ability of visitors to conceptually group paintings according to their thematic content.
The case studies support the following conclusions.
1) The way in which people position themselves in an environment as they perform their assigned tasks is tuned to the way in which visual fields are structured.
2) The visual structure of environment is contingent upon the interaction between the underlying structure of visual fields and paths of movement.
3) Directed visibility analysis leads to stronger correlations with behavior and performance than generic visibility analysis. This implies that environments are layered. Their underlying spatial structure is charged by the distribution of the contents that are programmatically primary.

Berglund, Andreas. "Production Development : Layout Project at Lundqvist Trävaru AB." Thesis, Luleå tekniska universitet, Institutionen för ekonomi, teknik och samhälle, 2019. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:ltu:diva-77077.
Full textAbstract:
The purpose of the master thesis has been to examine the production system at the company Lundqvist Trävaru AB and use the gathered information to create a layout suggestion together with a couple of improvement ideas. The thesis is the final part of the Industrial Design Engineering programme at Luleå University of Technology (LTU). Lundqvist Trävaru AB is a manufacturing company that specializes in producing prefabricated building kits out of wood, but the insufficient size of their current factory located in the industrial area of Öjebyn on the outskirts of Piteå, have created a need to relocate to alarger site. This new site is located at Haraholmen south of Piteå. The aim and objective have therefore been to develop a layout suggestion as well as a couple of improvement ideas, with the purpose of solving the identified problems at the current factory, thereby making sure that they do not reappear at the new site. Methods in the form of interviews, observations and documentation reviews were performed to identify potential problems with the production system and the work organization. To aid the investigation of the current factory, literature reviews of scientific books and articles were also performed during the project, with the purpose of giving the thesis a solid scientific foundation. After an overview of the production system had been created, the next step was to analyze the identified problems. These affected many different aspects of the company, for instance the material handling, work organization, flow ofinformation, production flexibility, inventory capacity and production flow. The main problem that in turn caused many of the identified problems was the insufficient inventory capacity, which led to problems with overflowing inventories and long delivery times for materials. This in turn affected thematerial handling negatively and made it hard to keep track of materials in the factory. Additional problems that were identified was divided workstations, scattered areas for material storage, an increasing amount of special orders with dimension outside of the ordinary size range, a lack of standardized working methods and lack of communication between the office and the production team. After the problems had been identified, the next part of the project was dedicated to performing creative methods with the purpose of developing layout concepts as well as improvement ideas. The methods that were used to fulfill this task was brainstorming, mind map, requirement specification, proximity chart and workshop. After these methods had been performed the result was four layout concepts and several improvement ideas. The next step was to evaluate the layouts and the ideas with the help of the requirements that had been specified together with the management at Lundqvist. The evaluations resulted in a final layout together with the most promising improvement ideas. These ideas were to standardized drawings and working methods, increase the work with creating manuals for the different stations and machines, adapt the workstations for special orders, purchase tablet computers for each workstation thereby allowing better information sharing and contact between the production team and the office, create a digital map of the factory, use markings and colors at inventories to facilitate identification of specific materials, better routines for the disposal of production waste and larger passages for trucks and wheel loaders. The result of the last part of the project was a 3D-model of the factory and the site, which showed the placement of the different machines, workstations and inventories used during the production of the prefabricated building kits. The benefits of the suggested layout and improvement ideas are bettermaterial handling, increased inventory capacity, better information sharing, standardized working methods and drawings, a straighter production flow and an increased production flexibility, which gives a better ability to produce special orders. If it turns out that it is hard to implement the layout at thepresent, the recommendation for Lundqvist Trävaru AB is to start with implementing the improvement ideas and then successively implement the layout. The suggested ideas and layout will make the company more prepared for the future and increase their ability to handle the planned productionincrease, while also making sure that they are able to better keep production deadlines, attract more customers and successfully establish themselves at Haraholmen. Which in turn will lead to reduced unemployment and increased tax revenue for Piteå municipalitySyftet med examensarbete har varit att undersöka produktionssystemet hos företaget Lundqvist Trävaru AB, samt använda den insamlade informationen för att skapa ett layoutförslag tillsammans med ett par förbättringsidéer. Detta examensarbete är sista delen av programmet Teknisk Design vid Luleå Tekniska Universitet (LTU). Lundqvist Trävaru AB är ett tillverkningsföretag som är specialiserade på att producera prefabricerade byggsatser gjorda av trä, men otillräckligt utrymme vid deras nuvarandefabriken belagd i industriområdet Öjebyn i utkanten av Piteå, har skapat ett behov av att flytta till en större anläggning. Denna nya anläggning är placerad i Haraholmen söder om Piteå. Syftet och målet har därför varit att utveckla ett layoutförslag, såväl som ett antal förbättringsförslag, med syftet att lösa de identifierade problemen vid den nuvarande fabriken och därmed se till att de inte dyker upp igen vid den nya anläggningen. Metoder i form av intervjuer, observationer och dokumentgranskningar utfördes för att identifiera potentiella problem med produktionssystemet och arbetsorganisationen. För att underlätta undersökningen av den nuvarande fabriken utfördes också litteraturgranskningar av vetenskapliga böcker och artiklar under projektets gång, i syfte att ge examensarbetet en stabil vetenskaplig grund. Efter att en översikt av produktionssystemet hade skapats var nästa steg att analysera de identifierade problemen, vilket påverkade många olika aspekter av företaget, bland annat materialhanteringen, arbetsorganisationen, informationsflödet, produktionsflexibiliteten, lagerkapaciteten och produktionsflödet. Huvudproblemet som i sin tur orsakade många av de identifierade problemen, var den otillräckliga lagerkapaciteten, som lede till problem med överfyllda lager och långa leveranstider för material. Detta påverkade i sin tur materialhanteringen negativt och gjorde det svårt att hålla reda på material i fabriken. Ytterligare problem som identifierades var uppdelade arbetsstationer, utspridda områden för materiallagring, en ökande mängd specialbeställningar med dimensioner utanför det vanliga storleksområdet, brist på standardiserade arbetsmetoder samt brist på kommunikation mellan kontoret och produktionsteamet. Efter att problemen hade identifierats ägnades nästa del av projektet åt att utföra kreativa metoder i syfte att utveckla layoutkoncept och förbättringsidéer. Metoderna som användes föratt utföra denna uppgift var brainstorming, mind map, kravspecifikation, närhetsanalys och workshop. Efter att dessa metoder hade utförts blev resultatet fyra layoutkoncept och flera förbättringsidéer. Nästa steg var att utvärdera layouterna och idéerna med hjälp av de krav som hade specificerats tillsammans med ledningen hos Lundqvist. Utvärderingen resulterade i en slutlig layout tillsammans med de mest lovande förbättringsidéerna. Dessa idéer var att standardisera ritningar och arbetsmetoder, öka arbetet med att skapa manualer för de olika stationerna och maskinerna, anpassa arbetsstationerna för specialbeställningar, köpa surfplattor för varje arbetsstation och därmed möjliggör bättre informationsdelning och kontakt mellan produktionsteamet och kontoret, skapa en digital karta över fabriken, använda markeringar och färger vid lager för att underlätta identifiering av specifikt material, bättre rutiner för hantering av produktionsavfall och större passager för truckar och traktorer. Resultatet av projektets sista del var en 3D-modell av fabriken och tomten, som visade placeringen av de olika maskinerna, arbetsstationerna och lagren som används under produktionen av de prefabricerade byggsatserna. Fördelarna med den förslagna layouten och förbättringsidéerna är bättre materialhantering, ökad lagerkapacitet, bättre informationsdelning, standardiserade arbetsmetoder och ritningar, ett rakare produktionsflöde samt ökad produktionsflexibilitet, vilket ger en bättre förmåga att producera specialbeställningar. Om det visar sig vara svårt att implementera layouten i nuläget är rekommendationen för Lundqvist Trävaru AB att börja med att implementera förbättringsidéerna och sedan succesivt implementera layouten. De förslagna idéerna samt layouten kommer att göra företaget mer förberett för framtiden och öka deras förmåga att hantera den planerade produktionsökningen, samtidigt som de ser till att de kan hålla produktionsdeadlines bättre, locka fler kunder och framgångsrikt etablera sig på Haraholmen. Vilket i sin tur kommer att leda till minskad arbetslöshet och ökade skatteintäkter för Piteå kommun.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis focuses on the development of design constraints for use in analyzing the capacity of the residential units' floor areas in Open Building projects. Two cases are used to demonstrate the use of these constraints: a vacant office building (Kales Building) being converted to residential occupancy; a new multi-story building the lower floors of which are hotel rooms and the upper floors are residential condominium units.The thesis suggests that these constraints and the capacity analysis of residential floor areas associated with them can assist design teams, at the beginning of similar projects; provide important "added value" to clients, and contribute to the long term "sustainability" or adaptability of buildings.The first part of the thesis addresses the question of how to design a residential base building which can accommodate an optimal number and variety of fit-out unit layouts. The answer to the question links to the need for design constraints and points to their use in capacity analysis.The second part of the thesis focuses on the deduction of "constraint-designing" for Open Building residential layout. Plumbing systems, which are one of the most significant barriers to the application of Open Building, are specifically and more deeply studied in this part. A series of constraints are developed, which can generally assist in designing and analyzing floor plate capacity. . It is akin to learning to know the rules before starting a game.The third part of the thesis focuses on the demonstration of the uses of constraints in the design process of the conversion of an abandoned office building to residential uses.The last part of the thesis demonstrates the use of constraints and capacity analysis in a new multi-story condo project.In short, the paper is initially concerned with both the design concept and its application into detail levels in one of the many issues. It is a study of methods and technical rules of designing floor plan layouts when capacity analysis is the aim.Department of Architecture

Full textAbstract:
Trots den nytta som BIM har på ett projekt så finns det fortfarande företag som väljer att skapa sina APD-planer på det traditionella arbetssättet. Det traditionella arbetssättet innebär att APD-planen upprättas på den gamla metoden som vanligtvis görs med 2D. Anledningen bakom att det fortfarande finns företag som upprättar APD-planer på den traditionella arbetsmetoden är att de inte finns någon tillräcklig vilja eller kunskap att ändra arbetsmetod trots att metoden anses vara osäker och tidskrävande. Det har istället förekommit en ny arbetsmetod för att frambringa planer och ritningar som ska ersätta den traditionella arbetsmetoden. Denna arbetsmetod skapar modeller i 3D där de ingående byggkomponenterna även innehåller information. Denna arbetsmetod kallas för BIM som står för byggnadsinformationsmodellering. Modellen som upprättas med BIM och som innehåller information om de tillgängliga byggkomponenterna kallas för BIM-modell. BIM som arbetsmetod kan i sin tur användas för att skapa APD-planer med hjälp av stödjande verktyg som tex SketchUp och Revit vilket medför många fördelar. Denna studie syftar därför till att undersöka hur APD-plan visualiseras i dagens läge samt upplysa vilka faktorer som samtliga byggföretag ska beakta vid val av verktyg för visualisering av byggarbetsplatsen. Fördelar, nackdelar samt hinder kommer att lyftas fram i denna studie med hänsyn till 3D och BIM i syfte att undersöka vilken dimension det är som lämpar sig bäst för visualisering av APD-planen samt vilken dimension APD-planen visualiseras med i dagsläget. Ytterligare ett syfte är att undersöka var i byggprocessen som APD-Planen bör integreras. Fokus kommer ligga på att påvisa fördelarna med att utöka användandet av 3D respektive BIM-relaterade APD-visualiserings verktyg. Det som tas upp i frågeställningarna är vilka de olika fördelar respektive nackdelar samt hinder som finns med att tillämpa 3D och BIM vid visualisering av APD-plan. Dessutom görs två olika visualiseringar med 3D och BIM verktyg för att visa hur APD-planen visualiseras. Den mest användbara dimensionen vid visualisering av APD-planen är 2D där APD-planen upprättas med Bluebeam. Det finns vissa företag som har övergått till 3D vid visualisering men som kombinerar med 2D ritningar eller skisser. Att visualisera med BIM har inte varit aktuellt för de samtliga intervjuade företagen. Däremot används de färdigprojekterade BIM modellerna som en del av 3D visualiseringen i syfte att skapa en så verklighetsanpassad visualisering som möjligt. Fördelarna med att visualisera en APD-plan med 3D och BIM-verktyg är att det ger en förverkligad bild på hur byggarbetsplatsen kommer att se ut och att risker, möjligheter och problem som inte skulle kunna upptäckas med 2D-modellen blir upptäckbara. Nackdelen däremot med att visualisera en APD-plan med 3D eller BIM-verktyg är att filerna kan bli alltför tunga vilket leder i sin tur till verktyget blir svår hanterligt samt upplevs som hackigt. Det som dock hindrar många ifrån att implementera 3D och BIM-relaterade verktyg är den mänskliga faktorn som sätter stop för utvecklingen, där människans bekvämligheter och arbetsrutiner är avgörande för implementeringen av verktygen. De absolut viktigaste faktorer som ett företag bör beakta vid val av verktyg vid visualisering av APD-plan är Lönsamhet, användarupplevelse, kompatibilitet och support.Despite the benefits that BIM has on a project, there are still companies that choose to create their APD plans in the traditional way. The reason why there are still companies that draw up APD plans on the traditional working method is that they do not have sufficient will or knowledge to change working method despite the method being considered uncertain and time consuming. Instead, there has been a new working method for producing plans and drawings that will replace the traditional working method. This working method creates models in 3D where the constituent building components also contain information. This working method is known as BIM as a wound for building information modeling. The model that is established with BIM and which contains information about the available building components is called the BIM model. BIM as a working method can in turn be used to create APD plans with the help of supporting tools such as SketchUp and Revit, which brings many benefits. This study therefore aims to investigate how APD plans are visualized in the current situation and to inform which factors all construction companies must take into account when choosing tools for visualization of the construction site. Advantages, disadvantages and obstacles will be highlighted in this study with regard to 3D and BIM in order to investigate which dimension is best suited for visualization of the APD plan and which dimension the APD plan is visualized with at present. Another purpose is to investigate where in the construction process the APD Plan should be integrated. The focus will be on demonstrating the benefits of expanding the use of 3D and BIM-related APD visualization tools, respectively. What is addressed in the issues is what are the different advantages and disadvantages as well as obstacles that exist with applying 3D and BIM when visualizing APD plans. In addition, two different visualizations are made with 3D and BIM tools to show how the APD plan is visualized. The most useful dimension in visualizing the APD plan is 2D where the APD plan is created with Bluebeam. There are some companies that have switched to 3D in visualization but which are combined with 2D drawings or sketches. Visualization with BIM has not been relevant for all the companies interviewed. On the other hand, the pre-designed BIM models are used as part of the 3D visualization in order to create as realistic a visualization as possible. The advantages of visualizing an APD plan with 3D and BIM tools are that it provides a realistic picture of what the construction site will look like and that risks, opportunities and problems that could not be detected with the 2D model become detectable. The disadvantage, however, of visualizing an APD plan with 3D or BIM tools is that the files can become too heavy, which in turn leads to the tool becoming difficult to handle and perceived as choppy. However, what prevents many from implementing 3D and BIM-related tools is the human factor that puts a stop to development, where human conveniences and work routines are crucial for the implementation of the tools. The most important factors that a company should consider when choosing tools when visualizing APD plans are Profitability, user experience, compatibility and support.

Full textAbstract:
An IPTV Set-top box enables the possibility of doing much more than decodingtelevision content. Its Ethernet interface gives it the same possibilities to communicatewith the outside world as any network device. This enables a wide rangeof services from internet radio to acting as a digital media receiver in your homenetwork. These highly interactive services increase the demands for responsiveand visually attractive user interfaces.Due to the cost-sensitive market of IPTV STBs the preferred platform to developthe user interface is the HTML browser as it allows for fast developmenttimes and low costs. As a W3C standard it also offers high portability and hardwareabstraction making it easy to use more than one STB vendor. The cons ofHTML based GUIs are low performance and lacklustre graphics.This thesis aims to find out if SVG can be used to achieve rich, scalable and animatedgraphics with high performance and still keep the attractive characteristicsof HTML.To do this much effort was put into identifying the strenghts and weaknesses ofSVG. The lessons learned resulted in an SVG AJAX framework called TOIXSVGmaking it possible to develop SVG GUIs in the same manner as modern Rich InternetApplications, enabling component reuse to make sure development time scalespreferably with the scope and complexity of the user interface. Along with theframework several new widgets had to be developed to achieve the targeted functionality.As a proof of concept a mock-up GUI was created with the frameworkand widgets.

Full textAbstract:
Miljonprogrammet är namnet på det politiska projektet som pågick mellan åren 1965 och 1974 då riksdagen fattat ett beslut om att en miljon nya bostäder skulle byggas i Sverige, för att råda bot på bostadsbristen. Nu är det mer än 40 år sedan byggnaderna uppfördes och renoveringsbehovet är ett faktum, vilket gör ämnet aktuellt. Huvudsyftet med studien är att kartlägga de tre största städernas hantering av renoveringsbehovet. Huvudfrågan för studien är hur miljonprogrammets bostäder hanteras idag. Samtidigt har en rad andra frågor besvarats i studien; vilka skillnader som finns i lagarna då och nu, hur miljonprogramsområdena ser ut i de olika städerna och hur de behandlas i översiktsplanerna, vilka följder som uppstår av att husen behöver renoveras samt om det finns någon ekonomi i att renovera husen.Studien har genomförts med en kombination av kvalitativ och kvantitativ metod. En kvalitativ genomgång av skrivet material med anknytning till miljonprogrammet i de tre städerna har gjorts. Därutöver har också en kvantitativ enkätundersökning skickats ut till de tre kommunerna och dess kommunala bostadsbolag.Stockholm, Göteborg och Malmö har både likheter och skillnader gällande planering och visioner. Både Stockholm och Göteborg har valt att placera sina miljonprogramsområden utanför stadskärnan medan Malmös ligger i nära anslutning till centrum. De har alla visioner i sina översiktsplaner om att skapa en mer enhetlig och sammankopplad stad genom ökad integration och bättre kommunikationer mellan stadens olika delar.Det uppstod en renoveringsvåg under 80- och 90-talet i samband med ROT-avdraget och idag pågår flera projekt kring miljonprogrammet. Fasadrenovering är vanligt i alla tre städerna och även till viss del upprustning av balkonger och fönster. Göteborg har satsat mycket på energieffektiviserande åtgärder och i Stockholm har det blivit allt vanligare med energi-besparade ingrepp såsom tilläggsisolering.Lagstiftningen i Sverige har stor betydelse vid renoveringen då det idag finns krav på bl.a. energieffektivitet men även under renoveringsvågen på 80- och 90-talet då varsamhetskravet infördes i PBL 1987. Stommen i bostäderna är bra och de är funktionellt byggda vilket gör att renovering är mer kostnadseffektivt än att riva och bygga nytt. Problemet ligger alltså inte i renoveringsbehovet, då de flesta hus behöver renoveras efter så pass många år, utan antalet hus som behöver renoveras.The million programme is a building era that took place between the years 1965 to 1974 when a politic decision was made to build a million new residences in Sweden, to correct the housing shortage. It´s now been more than 40 years since these residences were built and the need to renovate is a necessity, which makes this programme a very current subject. The purpose of this study is to map the three largest city´s handling of the need for renovation. The main question of this study is how the buildings of the million programme is being handled today. Meanwhile a series of other questions have been answered in this study; the difference between laws now and then, how the million programme areas looks in the different cities and how they are treated in the layout plans, what the need for renovation might lead to, and if there is any profit in restoring the buildings.It is a qualitative study as it is a situation in a few cities that are being studied, but through a survey this study gets a quantitative mixture as well. A survey was dispatched to the three municipalities and their communal real estate companies.Malmo, Gothenburg and Stockholm are both similar and different regarding planning and visions. Both Gothenburg and Stockholm placed their million programmes outside of the city´s core, whilst Malmo´s was located close to the centre of the city. They all have visions in their layout plans to create a more unified and connected city through increased integration and better communication between the city areas.There was a wave of renovation in the eighties and nineties because of the ROT-deduction and many projects concerning the million programme are still ongoing to this day. Facade renovation is common in all three cities and, to a certain degree, restoration of balconies and windows. Gothenburg has invested a lot in energy efficient measures and in Stockholm it has become increasingly more common with energy saving interventions like adding increased isolation. The image of the million programme´s constructions is "concrete ghettos", but the most common houses consists of three storeys with apartment size 3 rok.The Swedish legislation are of great importance during the renovation as there now are requirements on energy efficiency amongst other things, but also during the wave of renovation in the eighties and nineties when the demand of discretion was enforced in PBL 1987. The foundation in the million programme houses is satisfactory and they are functionally built which makes a renovation more cost-efficient than it would be to tear it down and build new buildings. The problem then does not reside in the need for renovation, as most houses needs restoration after so many years, but in the sheer number of buildings that would require a renovation.

Undersökningen har bearbetat förväntningar och förbättringar på planlösningar i flerbostadshus. Enkätundersökning bland allmänheten och de boende i Vikaholm, Växjö, samt intervjuer med arkitekter användes för att få synpunkter på förbättringar. Även intervjuer med de boende utfördes för att få mer utvecklande och motiverande svar än enbart från enkätundersökningen. Framtagning och utformning av planlösning har utformats efter de önskemål och synpunkter som framkommit i undersökningen. Planlösningarna är yteffektiva och är utformade med hänsyn till bland annat omätbara värden som finns i en bostad, det vill säga rumsliga kvalitéer som är mindre uppenbara och svåra att kvantifiera. Olika punkter som bekvämlighet, bättre möblerbarhet och mer förvaringsmöjlighet har gjort att bostaden har fått en annan utformning än de ursprungliga planlösningarna. Flexibla och generella rum som följer krav vid utformning och som inte har onödiga ytor har varit målet med arbetet. Arbetets resultat kan användas till andra framtida planlösningar än till det flerbostadshus som legat som grund för detta examensarbete.The survey has processed expectations and improvements on floor plans in a multi-family house. A survey by the public and residents in Vikaholm, Växjö, and interviews with experts were made to get views of improvements. Also interviews with residents were also made to get more developing and motivational answers than just from the opinion poll. The design and layout of the planning has been designed according to the desires and views expressed in the survey. The plan solutions are highly space-efficient and are designed with regard to, inter alia, intangible values that exist in a dwelling, which is spatial qualities that are less obvious and difficult to quantify. Different items such as comfort, better furnishing and more storage have made the accommodation a different design than the original floor plans. Flexible and general spaces that meet design requirements and have no unnecessary surfaces have been the aim of the work. The results of the work can be used for other future floor plans than for the multi-family house that has been the basis for this degree project.

Full textAbstract:
iDuring the past twenty years, China has been making dramatic progress in both the quality and the quantity of collective housing construction. However, many old problems still exist, and many more new problems have emerged, especially in some historical and compact but now fastgrowing cities, such as Suzhou, a 2500-year historic city with more than one million people.The objective of this study is to explore a design strategy to improve the collective dwelling environment --- the most popular dwelling type in China today --- in such a fast growing context. In order to provide an improvement in urban dwelling environments for residents, it is necessary to rethink the interaction between the individual resident and his or her dwelling. "Because building a house is a cultural phenomenon, its form and organization are greatly influenced by the cultural milieu to which it belongs."' In concurrence with this statement, this study examines not only the contemporary urban situation and typical residential environment but also the traditional urban fabric and housing settlement.Based on the principle that a harmonious environment results from "a whole range of sociocultural factors"Z, this study seeks several equilibriums: between the urban tissue and the building, between the building and the dwelling, between nature and the human being. The author's longterm goal is to apply the knowledge gained in this study in future practice.In the first part of this report, theoretical research is presented concerning the evolution of Chinese housing. Narrowing its geographical focus, this study selects Suzhou, a medium-size city at Yangtze Delta --- one of the most rapidly growing and developing plains in China --- as the site for the study. The historical dwelling pattern and current public housing style have been studied. Drawing on extensive research and field observation, the scope of the study is confined to rebuilding the harmony between human beings in all their diversity and common needs, and the morphological, functional and environmental aspects of residential environments.In the second part, a design model is proposed. Inspired by traditional interdisciplinary design strategies, as well as by a brief study of contemporary social needs, the author has proposed a new housing type: bio-climatic "atrium type" collective housing. This type links bioclimatic design principles to the framework of Open Building. On this basis, an experimental design proposal is next presented. In a specific site, it examines a way to help people exercise control of their immediate living environment, with both individual and social sustainable perspectives in mind.Department of Architecture

Full textAbstract:
The study relates international knowledge of climatically responsive and energy-efficient design to work done in South Africa. It also explores the relevance of design devices from international regions to the climates of this country. The research approach explores existing analyses of the main climate regions and the effects of climate factors on human comfort in each, in order to derive appropriate design solutions for the climate of South Africa. In South Africa obstacles exist in the face of energy efficiency. The cheapness of electricity to the consumer and the virtual non-existence of appropriate legislation appear to be two of the most significant obstacles. Design and subsequent construction of suburban residences is carried out with little regard for climatic context. Water is shown to be a particularly scarce and unevenly distributed commodity, which the affluent have greater access to and consume in greater quantities. However, it is demonstrated that the South African climate is virtually ideal for several climate-responsive energy-efficiency techniques. Especially due to the high solar radiation levels there is potential for various active and passive solar design techniques and technologies. The impact of atmospheric temperature and humidity, wind, radiation and precipitation on human comfort is investigated. Humidity and wind are demonstrated to be very influential on human comfort, whereas radiation and wind are the most easily manipulated through design. Furthermore, the specific topography and location of a site can influence the microclimate and solar access of an area to a significant degree. The South African climate is predominantly either hot semi-arid or temperate. Most of the western interior is hot arid whereas the eastern interior and highveld is predominantly temperate, with temperatures increasing to the north and decreasing to the south. The only cool region of the country is found in the highlands of the Drakensberg, with a significant portion of the eastern coast being hot humid. Methodologies and guidelines for both layout, or macro design, and detailed design of residential suburbs are explored. The manipulation of solar radiation, sunlight and wind, as well as the management of rainwater and used household water is explored. It is shown that designing suburbs to create access to solar radiation forms the basis of solar design, with solar access control, material and surface treatment largely determining the success of individual designs. Wind manipulation is achieved mainly through planting design, influencing mostly heat loss and gain ratios into buildings. Effective household water management can substantially reduce its consumption. Further research is needed in all aspects of climate-responsive design, especially classification of the South African climate and development of design techniques adapted to this context.Dissertation (M (Landscape Architecture))--University of Pretoria, 2006.

This thesis is a contribution to the already extensive database of information on the well-known Mausoleum of Theodoric. The goal was to retrace the history of Theoderic, from his origins to his arrival in Ravenna. The focus then moved on a discussion and analysis of the hypotheses and theories supported by many scholars, regarding the style of the mausoleum and the implementation of the monolith. Then the mausoleum and its history, changes and restorations over the years were described. Subsequently, calculations of the weight of the monolithic dome were made. Finally, the historical site and an assumed site layout were analysed in depth.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 105-106).
In the design of tall buildings, the lateral system that resists wind and seismic loading usually dominates the structural engineering effort; therefore, optimal lateral system design is important for material efficiency. In a shear-wall-based building, the conventional design process starts with an architect generating a floor plan, which is then passed to a structural engineer, who, based on knowledge and prior experience, tries to place shear walls to balance conflicting requirements: minimum structural weight, satisfactory structural strength and serviceability, conformity to architectural layout. This design process can be slow and inefficient, requiring a trial-and-error approach that is unlikely to lead to the best solution. The work presented in this thesis intends to accelerate the process with an optimization system involving a ground structure program formulation, a modified evolutionary algorithm, and innovative computational techniques. Unlike existing work that focuses either exclusively on structural performance or architectural layout, this research integrates both. An efficient computational design methodology for shear wall layout in plan is introduced. The method minimizes structural weight with constraints on torsion, flexural strength, shear strength, drift, and openings and accessibility. It can be applied from the very beginning of floor plan design or after generating an architectural floor plan. This thesis demonstrates the potential of this approach through a variety of case studies. Key contributions include a novel application of the ground structure method, a fast and robust modified evolutionary algorithm, and a simplified auto-calculation system for reinforced concrete design.

Full textAbstract:
Les travaux de recherche présentés dans cette thèse se situent dans une problématique d’aide à la conception d’enveloppes isolantes pour la rénovation thermique de bâtiments résidentiels collectifs. Ces enveloppes isolantes sont composées de panneaux multifonctionnels rectangulaires, configurables et préfabriqués en usine. Leur conception repose sur les cinq caractéristiques suivantes. Premièrement, le nombre de panneaux nécessaires pour concevoir une enveloppe ainsi que leur taille respective ne sont pas connus au début de la rénovation (mais leur taille est cependant bornée). Deuxièmement, en raison des contraintes de fabrication, chaque fenêtre et chaque porte présentes sur la façade à rénover doivent être insérées dans un et un seul panneau. Troisièmement, les panneaux sont fixés à des endroits spécifiques de la façade, assez résistants pour supporter leur poids, nommés zones d’accroche. Quatrièmement, ni trous (zone non couverte), ni chevauchements entre panneaux ne sont autorisés. Cinquièmement, afin de garantir une isolation thermique performante tout en minimisant son coût, les enveloppes doivent être composées d’un nombre minimal de panneaux. Aux vues de la complexité de ce problème, nous restreignons nos travaux de recherche aux façades rectangulaires portant des menuiseries et des zones d’accroche rectangulaires. Compte tenu des cinq caractéristiques énoncées et de l’hypothèse de forme rectangulaire des éléments traités (panneaux, façades, menuiseries, zones d’accroche), la conception des enveloppes est à la fois un problème de découpe et de conditionnement à deux dimensions et un problème de configuration. Ce problème est formalisé et traité comme un problème de satisfaction de contraintes et a pour but d’aider la conception dédites enveloppes isolantes. En tant que tel, les travaux de cette thèse présentent deux contributions majeures. En raison des caractéristiques originales du problème de calepinage de façades, sa description et sa formalisation comme un problème de satisfaction de contraintes constituent la première contribution de ces travaux de thèse. Deuxièmement, les solutions algorithmiques basées sur les contraintes constituent notre seconde contribution. En particulier, ces travaux de thèse présentent deux solutions manuelles et trois automatiques pour le problème de conception d’enveloppes isolantesThe research presented in this thesis falls within the problem of supporting the design of thermal insulating envelopes for the renovation of collective residential buildings. These insulating envelopes are composed of rectangular multi-functional panels, configurable and prefabricated in the factory. Their design is based on the following five characteristics. First, the number of panels needed to design an envelope and their size are not known at the beginning of the renovation (but their size is however bounded). Second, because of manufacturing constraints, every window and every door present on the facade to be renovated must be inserted into one and only one panel. Third, panels are attached to specific areas of the facade strong enough to support their weight, called supporting areas. Fourth, neither holes (uncovered area) or overlapping between panels are allowed. Fifth, to ensure efficient thermal insulation while minimizing cost, envelopes should be composed of a minimum number of panels. In view of the complexity of this problem, we restrict our research to rectangular facades with rectangular joinery and supporting areas. Given the five stated characteristics and the assumption of rectangular elements (panels, facades, joinery, supporting areas), the envelopes design is both a two-dimensional Cutting & Packing problem as well as a configuration one. This problem is formalized and treated as a constraint satisfaction problem and aims to support the design of such insulating structures. As such, the thesis presents two major contributions. Given the original features of the building renovation problem, its description and its formalization as a constraint satisfaction problem are the first contribution of the work. Second, constraint-based algorithmic solution’s are our second contribution. In particular, the thesis presents two manual and three automatic solutions for the design problem of insulating envelopes

Full textAbstract:
Traditional residential buildings constitute an important part of Turkey&rsquos cultural heritage. However, in most of the cases, these buildings face with the problems of arbitrary alterations disregarding their values, abandonment, neglect and even demolition. To prevent these problems, they need to be '
upgraded'
to the contemporary life, while sustaining their values and cultural significance. During this '
upgrading'
process, the most common and important problems are faced with during the re-functioning of the existing spaces and the provision of the service spaces according to the contemporary living standards and expectations of users. Therefore, this thesis proposes the process, content, method and criteria for conservation and design for upgrading traditional residential buildings to the contemporary life, focusing on the existing and expected functional layout and new service spaces. The proposed method is assessed on three selected cases from Istiklal District, Ankara. Based on the proposed process, content, method and design/conservation criteria within this thesis, the functional layouts are studied and the service spaces are designed, including implementation details for the selected cases. As a conclusion, this thesis revealed that the spatial properties of the traditional residential buildings can offer even more than the spaces that the inhabitants can expect from a contemporary house, while the service spaces with contemporary standards can also be provided with a conscientious approach.

Full textAbstract:
La maggior parte dei musei italiani è allestita all'interno di edifici storici che non nascono per questa destinazione d'uso. Le sale espositive risultano quindi non ottimali per il comfort acustico. Nei casi di elevata affluenza questo può arrivare ad influenzare la qualità della fruizione. Si è quindi provveduto a qualificare l'acustica di una sala espositiva e a monitorarne l'attività antropica, che è la principale sorgente di rumore. Il caso studio è il Salone del Nicchio, la prima sala espositiva del Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Firenze, situato all'interno del seicentesco Palazzo della Crocetta.
La sala è stata qualificata mediante misure di qualità acustica a norma ISO 3382 e misure fonometriche di background noise. Queste ultime risultano influenzate da molteplici aspetti, quali le interazioni tra il livello di emissione della voce e il rumore di fondo ed i processi comportamentali di feedback. È stato applicato un nuovo modello previsionale, calibrato per mezzo di dati sperimentali, per l'ottimizzazione del layout espositivo e dei flussi di persone al fine di migliorare il comfort acustico nella sala.

The present diploma thesis ‘Practical Division of a Real Estate – Agricultural Farmstead‘ is concerned with actual division of an agricultural homestead in XXX, the district of Olomouc. Based on the local examination which has been performed and after analyzing documents acquired from the owners, conclusions were drawn as to the possibility of dividing the estate while adhering to the applicable regulations of the civil procedure, construction law, construction technology, operational technology and economy. Valid price guidelines were used to determine the price of the estate and a comparative price of the estate was also estimated. Both price levels were also determined for the individual parts established by the practical division of the estate. The thesis consists of two basic sections. The first section focuses on theory, explaining the problem of practical division of an estate and providing a description of work of a certified expert drawing up this type of expert opinion. The second section comprises a practical part, which contains the expert opinion on the actual division of the agricultural homestead in the town of XXX in the Olomouc district.

As urban development in the 20th century has become the issue of global concern, more and more new territories have been occupied due to high intensity of the development. International conferences devoted to the regulatory issues of city development held within the current decade (such as HABITAT II held in Istanbul, 1996, ATHENS’98 – in Athens, 1998, URBAN 21 – in Berlin, 2000, and a conference in Brussels, 2001, etc) emphasized the majority of developmental aspects including the great focus on the necessity to further form urban structures with the priority of internal city development looking for more effective and more universal functional uses of the territories, restoration of the existing downtown areas and preservation of their original character. As other post-soviet countries, Lithuania has been also facing the need to reorganize various spheres including urban development. Urban territories have been dangerously expanded, especially during the soviet period, due to the increased general city building-up areas, mostly expressed by the territorial expansion rather than gradual and consistent development (by the use of internal reserves of the city). After the restoration of Lithuanian independence, privatisation, changed character of housing construction, return of land and real estate to the previous owners and increasing value of land under the free market conditions remarkably modified the nature of urban development in Lithuania, at the same time revealing the...

We have an idea to propose a software system to help architects to design, think, compute, and decide the problems in the building design. The study work of this paper is a part of the system; the purpose of this study is to develop an algorithm for automatic layout design for a single building. The purpose algorithm has the following properties, (i) The algorithm allows architects and users to input constraint and preference conditions to specify their desire. (ii) The algorithm may generates numbers of design drawings. The architects and users can choose their preferred drawings. (iii) An architect may conclude his design style based on the system of automatic building design. (iv) The algorithm may combines the future sub-systems for building energy simulation, acoustics analysis, construct cost evaluation, etc. For accurate designing, the algorithm uses wall as the construct primitive. The principle of algorithm is based on the graph theory. We intent to design a practical system for automatic building design, thus a user interface for the system is also provided.
