Step 1 - Generative Design Framework

A very brief description of the design decisions from Step 1 following the Generative Design Framework.

These are the valuables and outputs I chose.

• Design Decision 1: Construction Planning
• Design Variables
• Variables 1 .. Level Height
• Evaluators
• Evaluators 1 .. Net Costs
• Most Important Tradeoffs to Consider
• Tradeoffs 1 .. The higher the level height, the lower the net costs.

• Design Decision 2 Structural Design
• Design Variables
• Variables 1 .. Building Length
• Evaluators
• Evaluators 1 .. Gross Volumes
• Most Important Tradeoffs to Consider
• Tradeoffs 1 .. The higher the building length, the higher the gross volumes.

• Design Decision 3 Sustainability
• Design Variables
• Variables 1 .. Building Depth
• Evaluators
• Evaluators 1 .. PV Earnings
• Most Important Tradeoffs to Consider
• Tradeoffs 1 .. The higher the building depth, the higher the PV earnings.

• Design Decision 4 Architectural Design
• Design Variables
• Variables 1 .. Panels Widths
• Evaluators
• Evaluators 1 .. Gross Window Areas
• Most Important Tradeoffs to Consider
• Tradeoffs 1 .. The higher the panel widths, the higher the gross window areas.
