A comparison of floorplan design strategies in architecture and engineering

Layout design is a critical step in the overall design process of buildings and industrial facilities, and it has received a lot of attention in the fields of Architecture and Engineering. However, research results from those fields are seldom used in the other. In this paper, the different approach...

Description
Summary:Layout design is a critical step in the overall design process of buildings and industrial facilities, and it has received a lot of attention in the fields of Architecture and Engineering. However, research results from those fields are seldom used in the other. In this paper, the different approaches from both fields to layout design are analysed and compared, emphasizing the strengths and weaknesses they exhibit and showing how they can improve each other.
