Generative and optimisation methods for middle housing, compared under matched compute

RESEARCH GENERATIVE-DESIGN BENCHMARK - NOT CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTATION OR CODE CERTIFICATION.

Briefs

72 synthetic lots, generated from a seed: twelve per typology, balanced over three difficulty bands by construction. Difficulty is the programme's area over the buildable volume. 62 are solved by at least one method; the rest are unsolved within the budget, which is not a proof that they are infeasible.
