285: Parametric Approach Using The Wave Function Collapse Algorithm Integrated With Building Information Modeling To Create Volumetric Studies

This research presents the development of a design approach for residential spaces in hybrid buildings using Wave Function Collapse (WFC) algorithms. The proposal seeks to challenge housing standardization in urban centers, anchored on principles of general systems theory, modularity, flexibility and information modeling. After a literature review, an algorithm was developed integrating Archicad, Rhinoceros and Grasshopper platforms using the Monoceros WFC plug-in. A volumetric model of a hybrid building was instantiated in the city of Fortaleza, Brazil, following adjacency rules and constraints based on local urban codes. The algorithm was capable of interpreting and slicing the terrain to accommodate occupancy and permeability areas; generating a point grid from the geometry; simulating spatial organizations through WFC; and translating the resulting geometric plans into BIM compliant floor and wall elements. The study contributes with a technological framework to overcome typological rigidity in housing developments during early-stage design.
