A diffusion-based sequential generative workflow for AI-assisted architectural and structural design of detached houses

Traditional architectural and structural design workflows often require repetitive manual operations. Although recent artificial intelligence methods have advanced floor plan generation and structural design, most studies focus on isolated subtasks and simple residential datasets...

Beam layout design in shear wall structures using a diffusion model guided by rule-based masks

Serving as critical load supports and transfer components in shear wall structures, beams require layout designs that balance mechanical rationality with architectural functionality constraints. Conventional design methods, which rely on engineers' expertise, are challenging to s...

Advances and Applications of Computational Design Methods in Structural Design

Abstract Computational design has profoundly influenced structural design. However, its integration into the structural design workflow remains limited, leaving considerable room for further development. To facilitate a more systematic review of this topic, this paper proposes a...
