Modular Coordination-based Generative Algorithm to Optimize Construction Waste
January 2017 • Saeed Banihashemi, Amir Tabadkani, M. Reza Hosseini
In response to the growing attention to sustainable built environment, this study aims at introducing an approach in construction waste optimization through integrating parametric design with offsite construction methodology. To this end, a generative algorithm was developed within the integrated platform of Rhino and Grasshopper software based on modular coordination rules and ASTM international standards as the design constraints in modules array. Two sets of horizontal and vertical modules were obtained from a …
