B0031-heuristic_nsga2-2-1153

Heuristic-seeded NSGA-IIA+D · violates 1 of 17 benchmark constraints (1 violations). Brief B0031

Plan drawing of a courtyard on a 16.2 by 25.5 metre lot, 2 storeys, 4 dwellings, 25 rooms. Dwelling U0 (1BR) has 5 rooms totalling 66 square metres. Dwelling U1 (2BR) has 6 rooms totalling 65 square metres. Dwelling U2 (2BR) has 6 rooms totalling 66 square metres. Dwelling U3 (2BR) has 6 rooms totalling 65 square metres. Building footprint 155 square metres; open space 256 square metres. This design is infeasible; failing categories: open space failure. Objective scores, higher is better: density 0.75, daylight 0.38, privacy 0.67, circulation 0.63, carbon 0.71, cost 0.33.
