dc.titleResearch on morphological optimization algorithms for urban villages under compact city perspectiveen_US
dcterms.abstractRapid urbanization continues to shape the demographic landscape globally, with projec­tions indicating that by 2050, approximately 68% of the world’s population will reside in urban areas. In China, the expansion of urban regions such as the Pearl River Delta has led to the encapsulation of traditional villages within city boundaries, creating unique challenges in these urban villages.en_US
dcterms.abstractThis study specifically addresses the complex renovation needs of Guangzhou’s Chebei Village by employing a novel methodology that integrates generative design with machine learning. Our approach tackles three primary challenges: insufficient natural lighting and deficient public space, disorganized spatial functions, which are prevalent in urban vil­lages. By leveraging Grasshopper and its plugin, we implement generative design algo­rithms on the Grasshopper platform to simulate multiple demolition scenarios aimed at enhancing daylight accessibility and optimizing spatial layouts.en_US
dcterms.abstractConcurrently, machine learning algorithms analyze these scenarios to inform decisions on building retention based on daylight impact factors, enhancing both the functionality and livability of the urban space. This method not only streamlines the design process but also ensures that renovations are aligned with sustainable urban development goals.en_US
dcterms.abstractThrough a rigorous field study and literature review, our research outlines a renovation process for urban village renewal that is scientifically grounded and replicable. The inte­gration of generative design and machine learning represents a significant advancement in the architectural and engineering (AEC) industry, providing a robust framework for addressing the multi-dimensional challenges of urban renewal. Our study not only demon­strates the efficacy of this integrated approach but also highlights its potential to revolu­tionize urban planning practices by enhancing environmental quality and social function­ality within densely populated urban villages.en_US
