Building Shape Optimization

Building Shape Optimization is a design methodology within temperate climate architecture that systematically refines the geometric configuration of a building to maximize environmental performance by minimizing energy demand for heating and cooling through strategic modulation of surface-to-volume ratios, orientation, and envelope exposure.
