MID-TERM REVIEW
Evolutionary Stacking
Galapagos has been used to find the best disposition within our Vornoi Cell space for a certain number of cells, representing the fundamental functional components of our building.The fitness algorithm has been designed in order to take into account multiple parameters in one score to maximize. Parameter taken into account are solar radiation, average distance, optimal number of close neighbors and overall desired population density. Those parameters, and how they have been measured, will be further discussed in the article The parameters have been then combined into a single score and used as the fitness function of a Evolutionary position optimization through Galapagos, which could freely control the individual position of any single cell in the whole space domain.

Section and floorplan of a cell. The top layer above the living space is reserved for plant growing, in the middle layer humans and plants live alongside one another. Inflatable ETFE panels provide a growing cell for plants, in the middle of the space plants are being grown with light from the lighttubes.
The public space on level one + also consists of ETFE panels with a electrochromatic layer activated when increased pressure (i.e. a person standing on it) is detected. The surrounding panels will also be activated. This scenario enables light to penetrate when there is nobody walking on the public route.
