System-level design of low-carbon structures
… from structural systems during early stages of design, it is difficult to answer these types of questions in current paradigms of performance-driven design. This dissertation makes several original contributions to the system-level design of low-carbon structures. First, a literature-supported …

Standardized structural design for post-disaster modular housing units under clustered environmental loads
… proposing a new methodology to approach a multi-design standardized solution. Known environmental loading taken from building codes is analyzed over the entire United States to create a data-set that describes the distinct loading conditions of each region. Loads are clustered into grouping that …

Structural grid shell design with Islamic pattern topologies
… that can be explored in the preliminary design of discrete structures. This diverse design space motivates the coupling between Islamic patterns and the form finding of funicular grid shells for which structural performance is highly affected by topology and geometry. This thesis examines …

Methods for the integrated design of viscoelastic materials and structural geometry
Design engineers have traditionally selected simple materials, including linear elastic solids and Newtonian fluids, for their designs, and optimize designed systems within the limitations of preselected materials. However, allowing complex materials (e.g., viscoelastic materials and soft solids) …

Multi-Objective Build Orientation and Topology Optimization for Cost and Time Minimization in Fiber Reinforced Additive Manufacturing
… enabling the production of lightweight, high-performance components. The anisotropic nature of fiber-reinforced composites makes their mechanical performance highly dependent on fiber orientation relative to applied loads. This directional behavior can be exploited through optimization of both …

Integrating interactive evolutionary exploration and parametric structural design
… shape. However, most of them do not allow designers to integrate structural performance as an objective during conceptual design. As structural performance is highly linked to architectural geometry, there is a need for computational strategies allowing for performance-oriented structural …

Generative Urbanism toward Thermal Synergy: Sustainable urban design for district heating and cooling
Thermal performance has a long legacy in urban morphology, where the climate is interpreted explicitly in the forms of settlements. Mediating the temperature has taken a large portion in the energy sector since modern times. Besides the passive techniques, a closer observation of the space …

Machine learning-based stress-strain prediction and process parameter optimisation in material extrusion additive manufacturing
… in considerable variability in mechanical performance. Among the most critical challenges is the difficulty in accurately predicting and controlling the full stress-strain behaviour of the printed parts. A reliable understanding of the stress-strain response is essential not only for …

Transforming Architectural Practice Through Computational Design and Machine Learning: A Decision-Support Framework for Energy and Daylight Optimization
Architectural design requires balancing aesthetic goals, functional needs, and environmental performance, often involving complex trade-offs. This research integrates machine learning and computational design to optimize building enclosure design, focusing on energy efficiency and daylight …
