B0025-heuristic_nsga2-1-1175

Heuristic-seeded NSGA-IIA+D · meets all 17 benchmark constraints. Brief B0025

Plan drawing of a courtyard on a 19.3 by 26.8 metre lot, 2 storeys, 5 dwellings, 27 rooms. Dwelling U0 (studio) has 4 rooms totalling 35 square metres. Dwelling U1 (1BR) has 5 rooms totalling 51 square metres. Dwelling U2 (1BR) has 5 rooms totalling 81 square metres. Dwelling U3 (1BR) has 5 rooms totalling 81 square metres. Dwelling U4 (2BR) has 6 rooms totalling 86 square metres. Building footprint 186 square metres; open space 343 square metres. This design satisfies every benchmark hard constraint. Objective scores, higher is better: density 0.64, daylight 0.59, privacy 0.76, circulation 0.63, carbon 0.71, cost 0.20.
