Abstract

As part of the Advanced Design + Optimization (.ADOPT) project, we organized a design optimiza-tion competition in late 2012. with an original goal of testing building design optimization tools and their applications in design process. Despite that our original goal was missed due to software delays, the competition itself was a great success, with more than 200 people taking part and 3 winners selected from 30 final submissions. These submissions provide excellent insight into the (manual) optimization approaches taken by participants with diverse background and experiences. This paper presents in detail how the competition was organized, and analyses the submissions received. In addition, the application of design competition in classrooms is discussed. We believe the lessons learned from the competition will guide future development of optimization tools and their integration into the building design practice. Copyright © 2011 by IPAC’11/EPS-AG.
