Our building system comprises several repeating basic elements, including the Core, Living and Kitchen Space, Circulation corridor, Bedroom, and Decks, as well as the relationships between them. In this context, modules represent horizontal and vertical communications, rooms, and facades, and their relationships are derived from common building typologies.

The process of developing a functional system is rooted in our established set of abstract modules and their translation into architectural language. This resulting system can generate site-specific designs with an unlimited number of variations. Depending on the given space constraints, the system can combine rules and modules to create individual houses, apartment blocks, or even superstructures.

The basic set of modules and rules is defined by geometries set in cubic geometry, with predetermined possible directions of aggregation. The true geometry attributes of modules are defined within this cubic framework for visualization. Our solution involves creating various clusters of modules with consistent internal rules.

Moreover, we aim to be able to “sculpt” or guide these aggregations through an interactive process. Instead of aggregating everything at once, we break the process into “chunks” of partial aggregations. At each step, users can influence this process by providing optimization goals, ensuring the aggregation meets specific user criteria (such as maximizing exposure), and setting explicit “keep-out” constraints that steer the structure’s growth. Our system treats certain constraints as suggestions that can be modified to better align with the optimization objectives.
