Overview: This tool is intended for people who have a plot of land on which they intend to build a few small cabins (or other dwellings) and want to explore what the optimal arrangement and location for the cabins is. As inputs, the user defines the lot boundaries, a few categories of features that influence where cabins can be built, and the total number of cabins that will be built. The generative design script runs iterations of different cabin placements throughout the plot of land and evaluates two overall scores for each iteration: a privacy score and a score for the proximity of cabins to points of interest. The optimal layout is the one that scores highest on both.
It should be noted that this is version 1 of this tool and still contains some bugs. The dynamo graph contains notes to identify potential points of issues for the user as well as identifying opportunities for improvement for future versions.
