High-rise Residential Automatic Layout Based On Sunshine Effect

With the tensions of urban land in China, high-rise residential continue to emerge. The emergence of a large number of high-rise makes Sunshine issues become more prominent and sensitive. Sunlight effects are very important factor in high-rise settlements layout and meet the requirements of sunshine is one of the primary problems of architects.Because high-rise building sunshine calculation is to determine whether the cumulative hours during the effective duration meet the requirements, making it difficult to estimate the accurate space through like multistory residential. Currently in high-rise residential district planning processes, we tends to follow the sunshine spacing values from the form in the early start, then using the sunlight analysis software to test, these trial-and-error process cost lots of repetitive work and make it difficult for diversity studies. So seeking proactive method of creating becomes trend, and you can also provide a variety of programs, allowing designers to select and enhance efficiency. Moreover, with the development of computer-aided design technology, computer scripting language or a case of experimental and parametric design tools have emerged, such as AA (United Kingdom Architectural Association School), ETH (Switzerland, Zurich Federal Polytechnic Institute), the Berlage Institute, SCI-Arc (Southern California Institute of architecture) and other foreign institutions, as well as many domestic colleges and universities have already done a lot of research.Generation technology boom makes sunshine qualified automatically under the layout has a broad prospect.This paper focus on the sunshine conditions in high-rise residential layout, exploring some automatic generate methods restricted by sunshine standard. Experimental study on selection of typical residential type, parametric design platform based on Rhino+Grasshopper, sunlight analysis based on Ecotect, optimization method based on genetic algorithm and simulated annealing algorithm, form computer-generated test framework and optimized for three sunshine problem generated experiments. Record each optimization process in graphical form, show a list of experiments optimal layout and summarizes the feasibility and effectiveness of various experiments. Finally completed a high-rise residential layout automatically generating method in parametric modeling based on Rhino+ Grasshopper, research results can offer guidance and reference for planners and architects. The whole thesis contains about 64,000 words,163 pictures and charts.
