Floorplan generator

The kitchen, bath room, toilet are placed at the two insertion points.

Their proportions (a:b; 0.8-2:0.8:2), rotation (-PI/2, 0, PI/2, PI)  and position are randomly generated.

Then the rooms are aligned to a grid. 

If the solution is valid (no room intersecting)the rest of the surface is subdivided by domains according to the corner points of the generated rectangles.

hi Richard

great work

I'd be very interested to understand how I can set the algorithm so that the size of the rooms are modified according to (the total area and 'always the same but changes the internal division). you give me a help just to understand what direction to take.

thanks

it would be great to have a look at the definition. so if you like to share:

i would say the best solution would be the biggest useable space or something like that. and the reduction of common space. there could be the optimum of natual lighting aswell.

Would be Interessting to go after that. 

But the fundamental question with that is:

What is the "best" result of a flat? 

I am sure (at least in Vienna) new build flats are build as cheap as possible, enshuring a ceratin quality (thanks to regulations) but I don't want to live in (most of) them.

cool! thank you, would be interessting to link it to galapagos, to get the best result!

looking forward!

There a certain constraints, but beyond that random!

The algorithmen just palces kitchen,bathroom and toilet.
There are only two insertion points, installation ducts (but it works also without the constraint).
The rotation is limited to 90 degree turns.

Will post the definition soon.

interessting stuff!

what parameters do you use?

could you maybe post your code to get behind it?

do you youse galapagos or is it "just" random?
