Abstract
A design engine automatically generates designs for multi-family housing projects that simultaneously meet local construction regulations while also meeting specific financial targets. The design engine includes a design analyzer, a site analyzer, a design generator, and a design evaluator. The design analyzer generates design trends based on a historical database of designs. The site analyzer generates design criteria based on relevant construction regulations. The design generator generates design options that reflect the design trends while also adhering to the construction regulations. The design evaluator then analyzes the design options and generates various design metrics. Based on the design metrics, the design generator generates additional design options that better meet the design criteria.
