NSGA-IID · violates 1 of 17 benchmark constraints (1 violations). Brief B0027

Plan drawing of a fourplex on a 13.2 by 26.9 metre lot, 2 storeys, 4 dwellings, 22 rooms. Dwelling U0 (studio) has 4 rooms totalling 53 square metres. Dwelling U1 (1BR) has 5 rooms totalling 74 square metres. Dwelling U2 (1BR) has 5 rooms totalling 60 square metres. Dwelling U3 (2BR) has 6 rooms totalling 67 square metres. Building footprint 138 square metres; open space 212 square metres. This design is infeasible; failing categories: no street access. Objective scores, higher is better: density 0.80, daylight 0.34, privacy 0.82, circulation 0.67, carbon 0.78, cost 0.33.
