Evaluation of Data Extracted from Floor Plans for Apartment Complex Remodeling by Dongik Shin, Hyeongmin Ryu, Jeeyeop Kim, Jinyoung Kim

“…During the early stages of a typical remodeling project, many candidate floor plans arise in the process of finalizing the floor plan, resulting in significant time consumption in the iterative process for reviews and revisions. Extracting quantitative indicators by comparing floor plans before and after remodeling at the initial design stage and comparing the indicators of the target complex with the existing case can facilitate a more time-efficient and economical decision-making process. …”
