Description for Evolutionary Optimization of Building Facades
Hardback. This book explores how optimization-and performance-driven design in general-requires a change in the cultural approach to design for both architects and engineers. It shows how optimization techniques can be applied to the design of building envelopes. Series: Green Energy and Technology. Num Pages: 129 pages, 10 black & white illustrations, 50 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: AMCR; THX; TNK. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 10. Weight in Grams: 368.
Optimization techniques offer immense potential for the improvement of performance-driven design, since they allow the adoption of an holistic approach. This can lead to great advantages: optimal design solutions can be properly identified only if all criteria are considered at the same time, rather than separately. There are two barriers which obstruct optimization from being applied to building design: a technological barrier (applying the algorithms is not easy and can be quite time-consuming) and a cultural one (architects and engineers are required to change their perspectives as the design process has to be handled in a new way).

About Zemella, Giovanni; Faraguna, Andrea
I (Giovanni Zemella) am a façade engineer at Arup. I specialize in analyzing the energy performance of façades and the effect they have on the overall behavior of buildings. During my PhD and my experience as a research fellow at the University, I studied evolutionary optimization procedures and applied them to the façade design. I (Andrea Faraguna) am an ... Read more
