As the demand for high-rise residential buildings (HRBs) increases, conventional manual design process demanding multiple revisions and expertise encounters significant challenges.

摘要

As the demand for high-rise residential buildings (HRBs) increases, conventional manual design process demanding multiple revisions and expertise encounters significant challenges. Although several methods have attempted to automate HRB layout design, applicable solutions across diverse scenarios are still lacking. We present a framework that streamlines the HRB layout design process with reinforcement learning by treating every suite as an autonomous agent. The design requirements of functionality, safety, living comfort and efficiency are considered. Based on the design drawing input, we establish the environment through abstraction and rescale, and search for its initial state satisfying part of the design requirements. With a deep Q-network (DQN) algorithm, the suite agents are then autonomously aggregated towards the optimal solution determined by the user-specified preference. This proposed framework is demonstrated capable of producing practical and innovative layouts for various goals, highlighting its potential to automate HRB layout design.
