Building functional cities [PDF]
Science, 2016 The literature views many African cities as dysfunctional with a hodgepodge of land uses and poor “connectivity.” One driver of inefficient land uses is construction decisions for highly durable buildings made under weak institutions. In a novel approach, we model the dynamics of urban land use with both formal and slum dwellings and ongoing urban ...

Functional code building genetic programming
Proceedings of the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference, 2022 General program synthesis has become an important application area for genetic programming (GP), and for artificial intelligence more generally. Code Building Genetic Programming (CBGP) is a recently introduced GP method for general program synthesis that leverages reflection and first class specifications to support the evolution of programs that may ...

Using Fuzzy Logic Based Decision Support Systems for New Function Selection in Structures
Journal of Architectural Sciences and Applications, 2023 These buildings, which function as important documents for the period in which they were built, and which have managed to preserve their original qualities, have been abandoned as a result of various some factors and have lose their functionality.

Automated BIM-based structural design and cost optimization model for reinforced concrete buildings
Scientific Reports, 2022 The process of optimizing building designs requires developing several architectural and structural layout alternatives. Traditionally, limited number of design iterations can be conducted manually, which is time consuming and results in non-optimum ...
