SEQUENCE 02

DESCRIPTON:

BRUNO TAUT’S CARL LEGIEN ESTATE CAN BE SEEN AS AN EXAMPLE FOR THE DEMAND FOR RATONAL MODERN ARCHITECTURE OF THE RESIDENTIAL BUILDING COOPERATIVES IN GERMANY ATER THE FIRST WORLD WAR. BRUNO TAUT IMPLEMENTED WITH TYPIFIED BUILDING UNITS THE IDEA OF MODERN MASS PRODUCTION METHODOLOGY INTO THE BUILDING TECHNOLOGY. THE WHOLE PROCESS ON THE CONSTRUCTION SITE WAS BASED ON ASSEMBLY-LINE WORK WITH HIGHLY SPECIALIST WORKMEN.

THE PARTICULAR SETTLEMENT EXHIBITS A STRONG CONTRAST TO THE SURROUNDING DENS BLOCK BUILDING OF THE WILHELMINIAN ERA. DUE TO THE CLOSE DISTANCE TO THE CITY CENTRE THE AREA EXHIBIT HIGH POPULATION DENSITY AND REAL ESTATE PRICES. THEREFORE TAUT PLANNED U FORMED BUILDING BLOCKS OF 4 -5 STOREYS AROUND GREEN COURTYARDS IN ORDER CREATE GREENER SETTLEMENTS WHILE ACHIEVING THE SAME DENSITY OF THE SURROUNDING BLOCKS TO PROVE THE ADVANTAGES OF HIS APPROACH COMPARED TO THE TRADITIONAL BLOCK. EACH INDIVIDUAL FLATIS ORIENTED INTO SEMI PUBLIC GREEN SPACES

TO ITERATE THE GENERATIONS IN THIS SEQUENCE, THE IDEA OF MULTI- OBJECTIVE OPTIMIZATION IS ADOPTED WHERE THE TNESS CRITERIA WERE REVISED TO ESTABLISH A RELATION WITH THE EXTERNAL CHANGES IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL PRESSURE. SINCE THE RESEARCH FOCUSES ON TESTING THE EVOLUTION OF URBAN BLOCKS AND FORMS WITHIN A SPECIC CLIMATIC CONTEXT, IT IS NECESSARY TO CLEARLY DENE AND ENSURE THAT THE FITNESS CRITERIA ARE RELEVANT AND MEASURABLE.

FITNESS OBJECTIVE 01

THE FIRST FTNESS OBJECTIVE IS TO MAXIMIZE THE GROUND EXPOSURE, THIS OBJECTIVE AIMS AT CREATING INTERNAL OPEN SPACES BETWEEN THE DENSE PACKING OF THE CELLS AND IS CONTROLLED BY DIRECT SUNLIGHT HOURS ON GROUND AND 1 OFFSET.

EVALUATE SURFACE

FITNESS OBJECTIVE 02

THE SECOND FTNESS CRITERION AIMS AT MAXIMIZING THE TOTAL VOLUME OF THE INDIVIDUAL.IT IS DEFINED AS SUCH TO INTERROGATE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE TOTAL MASSING OF THE INDIVIDUAL AND THE INTERNAL SPATIAL AREA AVAILABLE TO MAXIMIZE IT TO ITS EXTENT.

FITNESS OBJECTIVE 03

THE THIRD FITNESS CRITERION IS TO MINIMIZE THE BUILDING EXPOSURE WITH RESPECT TO A SINGLE SOLAR VECTOR. THE VECTOR IS LIMITED TO ONE POINT TO ACHIEVE UNIFORMITY IN COMPARING THE RESULTS.
