This course introduces a generative design framework tailored specifically for high-rise office towers, incorporating performance-based design grammar for efficient energy use and optimized building forms. By exploring Vertex-Based Polygonal Generative Grammar (VPGG) and the High-rise Office Tower Generative Design Framework (HOT-GDF), learners will understand how to balance aesthetics and environmental performance. Using AI tools like Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) for thermal and comfort assessments, the course equips architects and urban planners with skills to create office towers that are both functional and sustainable, optimizing thermal loads and form variety at the early design stages.

Key Areas Covered:

• Generative Design Grammar (VPGG): Techniques for form generation in high-rise structures.
• Thermal and Comfort Performance: Strategies for reducing thermal loads and enhancing comfort.
• Artificial Neural Networks (ANN): Leveraging ANN for quick, efficient energy performance predictions.
• Multi-Objective Optimization: Approaches for balancing building shape with environmental demands.
• Interactive Design Interfaces: Real-time tools for visualizing and adjusting design outcomes
