Özet:

This thesis approaches the spatial allocation problem as a multi-objective optimization problem. It proposes the use of Intelligent Design Objects (IDO) model to help designers with this task. Solutions are generated and evaluated, according the user defined criteria. Iterative improvement is proposed as a help to visualize candidate solutions and conceive the desired spatial relations. By defining the criteria and rating it numerically, both designer and client are able compare the solutions obtained. The use of fuzzy logic is implemented to address soft concepts as part of the architectural design process. New relations are defined until a good solution is found. The implementation is evaluated via two case studies: layout organization of sets of rectangles (two dimensions) and TUDelft graduation project for the American Embassy in The Hague (three dimensions).
