28th of May 2015, 10h00 at the Faculty of Architecture (UL) – Doct. Pavilion classroom 5.0.

In this presentation Manuela Ruiz Montiel will talk about some techniques and experiences related to the use of computers in order to suggest starting points in the context of housing design.

These techniques are mainly based in shape grammars and machine learning methods.
So far, we have focused on habitability guidelines to generate the so-called housing
unit schemes. Currently we are also considering energy efficiency directives over the machine learning process.
