Balancing Act: Managing Multi - Objective Problems in Comprehensive Studio

This research explores the applicati on of dynamic multi – objecti ve opti mizati on (DMOO) concepts and tools within a comprehensive studio context to help students deal with dynamic multi-objective design problems in a comprehensive studio context. DMOO offers a rigorous conceptual framework and provides methods for the comparative analysis of design solutions and their trade-offs. To test this claim, a pedagogical methodology to integrate these concepts and tools is described and then validated through the comparati ve analysis of two different comprehensive studio sections. The results show that use of DMOO concepts and tools in the early and late stages of design does improve explorati on of trade-off s between possible design solutions.
