Probability
Collective residential building generated using Wave Function Collapse algorithm
Project Overview
This project focuses on researching and applying the Wave Function Collapse algorithm to architectural design, aiming to create innovative, algorithm-driven modular layouts. This exploration is pivotal in advancing architectural computation, integrating sustainability and functionality in modern urban development.
WFC is not a growth algorithm - it always generates a complete valid aggregate (or no solution at all), leaving no slots empty. It has important implications for design, architecture and urban planning: the aggregates are not branching, but create rhizomatic structures, there is no overlapping, there are no untreated areas.
Logical Coherence
When assessing different tools for discrete design, the WFC algorithm shows clear advantages in logical coherence, rule complexity, and design diversity. It can not only simulate natural processes but also offers user interactivity and computational efficiency.
Modules and Rules
The project developed various module types, including residential modules (double rooms, single rooms, offices), connection modules (platforms, elevators, staircases), and connectors in various directions. For given specific shapes of slots, the algorithm can identify and provide solutions for the current condition of the slots.
