Abstract
The present approach automatically generates an optimized building floor plate layout given a set of building design parameters including a specified unit mix. Some or all of this process can then be repeated when building design parameters are changed thereby facilitating automated and iterative building design as differing design parameters and resulting optimized building floor plate layouts are considered.

A method for generating an optimized building floor plate layout, the method comprising:
- generating, by a floor plate solver module, a set of prioritized two-dimensional zones within a perimeter of a building floor plate based on building dimensions and building envelope scores, wherein the prioritized two-dimensional zones define different functional areas comprising unit zones and one or more vertical transport zone;
- generating, by a unit mix solver module, an optimized mix of unit types based on a specified mix of unit types and the prioritized two-dimensional zones, wherein the optimized mix of unit types most closely matches the specified mix of unit types that fit in the prioritized two-dimensional zones, and wherein the optimized mix of unit types identifies which unit types of the optimized mix of unit types are to be placed in which of the prioritized two-dimensional zones;
- and,
- specifying, by a layout solver module, a location within the floor plate layout of each unit type of the optimized mix of unit types based on the optimized mix of unit types.
A system for generating an optimized building floor plate layout, the system comprising:
- a floor plate solver module configured to generate a set of prioritized two-dimensional zones within a perimeter of a building floor plate based on building dimensions and building envelope scores, wherein the prioritized two-dimensional zones define different functional areas comprising unit zones and one or more vertical transport zone;
- a unit mix solver module configured to generate an optimized mix of unit types based on a specified mix of unit types and the prioritized two-dimensional zones, wherein the optimized mix of unit types most closely matches the specified mix of unit types that fit in the prioritized two-dimensional zones, and wherein the optimized mix of unit types identifies which unit types of the optimized mix of unit types are to be placed in which of the prioritized two-dimensional zones;
- and,
- a layout solver module configured to specify a location within the floor plate layout of each unit type of the optimized mix of unit types based on the optimized mix of unit types.
