Ontology
Purpose:
To systematically capture and represent its important elements, functions, and interactions. This ontology aims to serve as a knowledge repository, facilitating analysis, learning, and knowledge transfer for professionals involved in designing and planning similar future housing projects.
Scope:
Not only the architectural design but also the incorporation of essential utilities and community services.
Intended Users:
Architects seeking design strategies and insights into spatial planning, as well as civil engineers interested in understanding the critical design elements crucial for successful social housing implementation before creating a structural design.
Intended Use:
Enable architects and civil engineers to extract pertinent information, incorporate best practices, and make informed decisions in planning and implementing future housing initiatives.

Parametric Model
Purpose:
Analyze and optimize the geometric configuration and structural design of multi-story social housing units
Parameters:
- Number of Levels: Ranging from 2 to 30.
- Floor Height: Adjustable between 2.5 and 6 meters.
- Width and Length: Adjustable dimensions between 5 to 40 meters in width and 6 to 40 meters in length.
High Performance Criteria:
The purpose of these criteria are to assess the effectiveness and efficiency of the parametric model in designing multi-story social housing units that meet specific performance standards.
- Building Height: Impacts structural system selection and lateral stability.
- Total Footprint Area: Influences foundation design and load distribution throughout the structure.
