N2 - This paper represents a series of design alternatives for a mid-rise apartment complex, inspired by the configuration of Habitat 67, where the prefabricated modules seem to be stacked chaotically. Unlike Habitat 67, where prefabricated reinforced concrete panels are used for construction, the apartment complex in this project is to be built by structural Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) panels. In this study, characteristics of Habitat 67 are considered to evaluate the performative characteristics of the generated solutions. The form exploration process in this study is based on a GA+TRIZ hybrid method [1]. First, the design objectives are set, and the Theory of Innovative Problem Solving (TRIZ) is used to define parametric modeling. Then, a genetic algorithm (GA) is employed to generate a wide variety of design solutions. Through the iterative process of form generation, the structural performance, the heating energy demand throughout November to March, the shell cost, the environmental and life cycle impact of the design alternatives are studied. The suitable solutions are explored using Pareto sets and TRIZ matrix of contradictions. Finally, performative characteristics of Habitat 67 are compared with those of the generated solutions, and it is explained how the design objectives and sustainable development of our environment are sought within this project.
