✦ Synopsis


The logical design of the layout of a multi-storey building is a conceptually and numerically complex task which, if an acceptable algorithm can be devised, is ideally suited to a computer-aided approach.

Previous work in multi-storey layout planning at Liverpool [l] has been concerned with methods of defining vertical links. The present work eonsiders the problem of allocation of activities to the various levels of a multi-storey building and a computer-aided solution based on the use of techniques of cluster analysis is proposed. The principles of the computer program are deseribed and its use in multi-storey layout planning is assessed.
