B0069-heuristic_nsga2-0-1252

Heuristic-seeded NSGA-IIA+D · meets all 17 benchmark constraints. Brief B0069

Plan drawing of a fourplex on a 16.4 by 23.7 metre lot, 2 storeys, 4 dwellings, 24 rooms. Dwelling U0 (1BR) has 5 rooms totalling 65 square metres. Dwelling U1 (1BR) has 5 rooms totalling 65 square metres. Dwelling U2 (2BR) has 6 rooms totalling 64 square metres. Dwelling U3 (2BR) has 6 rooms totalling 66 square metres. Building footprint 147 square metres; open space 238 square metres. This design satisfies every benchmark hard constraint. Objective scores, higher is better: density 0.99, daylight 0.56, privacy 0.80, circulation 0.60, carbon 0.78, cost 0.42.
