Abstract
The aim of this paper is to demonstrate a new developed parametric workflow for efficient semi-automatic generation of design options for multi-family residential buildings. The generation process is performed by modular components that generate design variants for building volumes automatically butenablethe user to combine them in the preferredorder, depending on the project goals. Such an approach enables the quick search in the vast solution space and,at the same time,allows the user to influence the generation process and guide it into the desireddirection, thus allowing the designer to integrate his experiences and insights. The developed methodology is applied to a case study of a residential building design competition. In this case study, we aimed to 1) generate a multitude of diverse design options for theexisting project and thus validate the developed method 2) generate options, that are visually similar to the manual designs submitted by architects and thus validate if the semi-automatic generation procedure is sufficient for including concept-related features and demands into the design process.
