The ECOLOPES Voxel Model: Multi-domain data integration for ontology-aided generative computational design of ecological building envelopes

The research portrayed in this article is part of the research project ‘ECOlogical building enveLOPES: a game-changing design approach for regenerative ecosystems’ funded by Horizon 2020 Future and Emerging Technologies. The overall research project focuses on developing a multi-domain data-driven computational design framework for the design of ecological building enclosures that addresses humans, plants, animals and microbiota. This article focuses on the development of a key component of the computational workflow in which initial designs are computationally initiated generated and analyzed, namely the ECOLOPES Voxel Model that contains and correlates multi-domain spatialised data for the design process, and its interactions with other components of the ontology-aided generative computational design process for ecological building envelopes.

This repository contains all relevant data produced in this paper. Extended technical description is available in the Appendix A to the published paper, containing listing and description of individual voxel data layers. Data were exported from the RDB server (PostgreSQL) in text-based, future-proof format (csv).

本文所阐述的研究，隶属于由欧盟“地平线2020（Horizon 2020）未来与新兴技术”计划资助的研究项目‘ECOlogical building enveLOPES：面向再生生态系统的革新性设计方法’。本整体研究项目旨在开发一套多领域数据驱动的计算设计框架，用于开展兼顾人类、植物、动物与微生物群（microbiota）的生态建筑围护结构设计。本文聚焦于该计算工作流关键组件的开发：该组件可通过计算手段启动、生成并分析初始设计，即ECOLOPES体素模型（Voxel Model）——该模型存储并关联了设计流程所需的多领域空间化数据，同时可与面向生态建筑围护结构的本体辅助生成式计算设计流程的其他组件实现交互。
