Structural Shelter Multiobjective Optimization

The studio was held in the University of Tehran as the third ‘Architecture Design’ course of the Master’s program of Architecture and Technology. The studio was held in the University of Tehran as the third ‘Architecture Design’ course of the Master’s program of Architecture and Technology. The subject of the studio was the design of a structural top-shift for The Azadi Stadium. Unfortunately, the stadium was left partly unfinished before Iran’s revolution, and the top shield of the stadium has never been finished. The biggest annoyance from which the audience suffers is the lack of roof or cover protecting people from participation in winter and sunbeam in summer, considering Iran’s climate.

The student started with digital sketching for the roof based on the guidelines, which the stadium’s architect probably desired. Later, they explore various optimization algorithms and choose one to optimize the designed structure. To achieve a multi-objective optimization result, they mainly implemented evolutionary algorithms like the Genetic algorithms.
