With the rapid advancement of urbanization, contemporary cities increasingly
emphasize human-centered care. Addressing the varied accommodation needs of different
individuals has become a critical issue for investigation. This study delves into the
relationship between residents' preferences and accommodation building design,
proposing an optimization strategy for accommodation layout based on parametric design,
specifically tailored to Fuzhou's subtropical humid climate. By interviewing Fuzhou
residents, the study collects data on their preferences regarding accommodation types,
area, and spatial layout. Utilizing topological principles and the Grasshopper plug-in, a
dynamic parametric accommodation building model reflecting residents' preferences was
constructed. This paper integrates architectural physical environment simulation and
genetic algorithms to explore the process of building floor plan generation based on
performance conditions, emphasizing the correlation between parametric design and
architectural performance optimization.
Initially, residents with diverse living needs were interviewed to summarize their
requirements, which were then used to create network diagrams reflecting their spatial
preferences. These diagrams subsequently generated individual-specific spatial layout
"bubble diagrams." During the parametric design process, residents' preferences were
incorporated to generate personalized spatial correlation diagrams and detailed floor plans.
Leveraging parametric characteristics and using physical simulation software like
Ladybug and Honeybee, the building layout was optimized to achieve a highly
personalized and energy-efficient accommodation design solution. Confronting the
challenge of Fuzhou's extreme high-temperature environment, this study not only
assessed various optimization schemes in terms of daylight coefficient and thermal
comfort but also incorporated this evaluation into the early design stage to intuitively
reflect and address the local climatic and geographical features. By placing residents'
preferences at the forefront of the design process, the study demonstrates how parametric design methods and physical environment simulation technologies can create
accommodation building designs that meet residents' needs while ensuring environmental
sustainability.
The innovation of this study lies in directly integrating residents' preferences into
the parametric design process of accommodation buildings. Through forward-looking
design strategies and technological applications, it provides new perspectives and
methods for accommodation building design in Fuzhou and other regions with similar
climatic conditions. These findings hold significant implications for architectural design
practice and offer valuable references for future research combining resident behavior
with architectural design.
