Abstract:
This exploratory paper takes the design solution of a prefabricated modular home series as a starting point to examine computational design tools appropriate for further improvement of the designs. Firstly, drawing on Lawson’s [1] definition, the design process is defined so that design problems may be better understood. Secondly, computational design tools are assessed for their suitability to address the design problems and offer better design solutions. Computational design tools are defined for further research.
Keywords: computational design; prefabricated modular homes; multi-criteria optimisation; parametric modelling; simulation
