Abstract:
Generation of home plans based on several attributes like constraints and preferences is an interesting research area. Most related research works on floor plan
generation do not always adhere to the necessary constraints such as reachability, connectivity and different shaping. This
paper presents a novel and flexible technique for generating floor plans subject to minimum geometrical requirements, architectural and legal attributes by showing generated floor
plans for different shaped designs with satisfying set of attributes. Since there are number of possible combinations to generate a floor plan, it is really a challenging task to figure out
the optimum solution for a particular scenario. Rather than evaluating the floor plan after applying a set of attributes, system
checks whether the floor plan satisfies the requirements, while generating the floor plan inside a single rule in knowledgebase.
The proposed model would result in minimizing the number of attributes associated with the most important features in architectural home designing, significant reduction in designing
costs and release of human labor. The main feature of the proposed system is its representation power since it is not limited
to representing just rectangular shaped floor plans. In totality, this tends to increase customer satisfaction as a final goal of the
system. Furthermore the method is efficient and easy to implement and integrate into the larger context of modeling of
home plans.
