| description | A human activity pattern survey highlights the need to improve occupant comfort, as people spend significant time inside buildings. Occupant comfort depends on factors like daylighting, wind conditions, and visual privacy, all crucial for creating a sustainable indoor environment. One approach to enhancing these factors is through non-conventional roster bricks, geometrically designed using parametric exploration in multi-objective optimization. Unlike conventional roster bricks, these innovative designs cannot be fabricated through conventional methods. However, prior research has not sufficiently optimized non-conventional roster bricks, particularly regarding visual privacy as a key consideration for building envelopes. This study addresses this gap by optimizing non-conventional roster bricks to improve daylighting, wind velocity, wind temperature, and visibility percentage. The results indicate an optimal roster brick with a UDI of 66.38%, wind velocity of 2.067 m/s, wind temperature of 27.6739°C, and visibility percentage of 15.34%. These values align with comfort and energy efficiency standards, supporting digital fabrication for real-world applications. Additionally, statistical analysis shows a negligible correlation between parameters and rating index (r = -0.03). The study contributes to advancing parametric design and digital fabrication techniques in architectural applications, offering a method to enhance occupant comfort while maintaining energy efficiency through innovative building façade solutions. |
