Sketch-to-Layout: A Human-Centric Computational Agent for Constraint-Aware Synthesis of Modular Photobioreactors
Building-integrated photobioreactors (PBRs) offer a pathway for carbon-neutral architecture, yet deployment is hindered by configuration complexity and biological maintenance. This paper presents a modular PBR facade system powered by a computational framework reconciling design intent with physical validity. We introduce 'carbon-neutralization bricks' featuring integrated vessel-and-conduit geometry; monolithic fluid channels enable 'plug-and-play' assembly. To navigate the combinatorial complexity of 14 modular geometries, we develop a Computational Sketch-to-Layout Agent that formulates layout synthesis as a Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP). Using the CP-SAT engine, the agent trea...
