Multi-Agent system based on music theory ─ Take the design of the Linpan of DengGong Village as an example

Abstract

The meaning of the term "architectural design" refers to the process in which the designer expresses the design ideas in drawings after drawing up the solution of possible problems of society or environment With the development of parametric design the design process began to be disassembled and calculated in steps In recent years multi-agent systems derived from the field of computer science have been used in the field of architectural design The method is to decompose large and complex design problems into multiple sub-problems and then use agent intelligence to solve the sub-problems separately and finally synthesize it into the overall design result Unlike the traditional design process the multi-agent system is a bottom-up Design method Design systems based on generative methods require sufficient theoretical basis In the past many researchers have established multi-agent systems by observing biological or social operations and applied them in the design process Both music and architecture have great similarities in the creative process and methods In the past many studies have indicated that both architecture and music are inter-connected in thinking Echoing the development of digital tools and the similarity of thinking between music and architecture this thesis explores the history of the development of tools for both architecture and music and the generative creative theory In the follow-up multiple multi-agent systems based on music theory were established through multiple programming experiments which were used in actual design projects to prove the feasibility of generative systems This paper involves cross-disciplinary knowledge such as music computer and architecture In the architectural design method a new insight into the design method is proposed through a technical experiment aimed at the design process
