GENERATING DESIGNS FOR MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING PROJECTS USING SHAPE PARAMETER TRANSFORMATIONS

Abstract:

A design simulator executes a shape parameter engine that generates geometry corresponding to parking lots. The shape parameter engine implements a library of shapes, action markers, and construction rules to generate designs for parking lots. Each shape is a geometric the that can populate a design surface. Each action marker signifies an action that can occur at a specific location on the design surface. Each construction rule describes how shapes should be placed on the design surface relative to one or more action markers. The shape parameter generator tiles the design surface using the library of shapes, action markers, and construction rules to generate valid parking lot designs.
