ML-architectural-analytics

A machine learning toolkit for the analysis of spatial cultures in architecture.

This repository stores the code for the work related to the use of Machine Learning for the analysis of architectural plans. The results related to such code were submitted to CAAD Futures 2019, with the full work now being evaluated].

1 Replication of Results

The analysis is fully replicable. The files are numerated from 0. to 5. to indicate the progression of the analysis, which coincides with the progression the paper takes as well.

• 0.: Provides the code to read-in .txt output files from GrassHopper code into pandas Dataframes and numpy matrices for adjacency matrices (the whole folder in the Google Drive is ingested here). The output of that process is stored in data/graph_dict_flnms_dfs_adjmats.pkl, so it's not necessary to run the first portion. On top of this, some EDA is done on the single features for feature selection purposes;
• 1.: Provides the code for pair plots in R;
• 2.: Room Level Classification Results;
• 3.: Building Level Analysis;
• 4.: Creating the Gram Matrix from graphs adjaciency matrices;
• 5.: Performing Kernel SVM Implementations.

2 Comments

When necessary, code found elsewhere is acknowledged in line. pip_requirements.txt reports the version of the main packages used - analysis was done in Python 2.7.10 and R version 3.4.3, "Kite-Eating Tree".

This Google Drive folder is the main repository for the architectural plans, including the processing code for the architectural plans in Grasshopper, which can be consulted for more information.
