Rooms Optimization

Hi everybody,

I got a problem trying do develop a Room Optimization system.

I'm at the beginning of the script and i'm trying to move different rooms on each perimeter due to have different configurations.

the idea I had is to divide each object into several points and creating a translation vector between couple of points. this works with 2 rectangles, but when the shape becomes more complex it doesen't work any more.

my aim is to move lot of boxes on each other perimeter without generating intersections. any idea to continue or to start again? thank you so much

here my work untill now

Hi! Did u come forward in your definition? I am looking right now for something similar. I am making my master thesis about alternative housing and modular design. One of my topics to prove the variability of possible (but also functional) plans in some simple module plan or better module volume (if it s could work for example also for duplex apartments or for privet houses with more than one floor). I could also image to split the module on the different parts (rooms) and let them and their position dictate the form of different modules.

And last but not the least i would like to create some generator to put those simple modules in clever and variable settlements.

as shorter conclusion.

1. floor generator in fixed form (in this case rooms should change there potions and proportions but follow some rules about for example lighting, visibility, connection between the rooms and mb min and max sizes for each function area.)

2. floor generator with fixed function areas (rooms) (in this case the plan contour or volume varieties have to be created from different arrangment from the rooms. I would lake to take care in this case of the space syntax but also lighting.

3. settlement generator which could organised different masterplans from those simple living modules.

I just started with it with research and reading of different PHd works and scripts about those themes. It s looks to be really hard.And i am kind of beginner in grasshopper and have only 3 months time. So i would be very happy for any advice, example definitions e t c.
