Development Process for ECOLOPES Algorithm

Abstract

This report outlines the development of the ECOLOPES algorithmic design process. This entails the following objectives: (1) identification of a conceptual approach to urban form, (2) systematic approach to related types of data sets; (3) steps towards identifying a framework for a generative algorithmic design process; and (4) identification of principal approaches for linking the ECOLOPES algorithmic design process to the ECOLOPES voxel (WP5) model and EIM Ontology (WP4, D4.1 Preliminary EIM Ontology), ensuring the required alignment with other parts of the ECOLOPES computational workflow (WP3 D 3.1 Prototype technical requirement report) and user workflow (WP1 D1.3 Report of Year 1). This work constitutes the first part of the algorithmic process that leads up to the detailed design process.
