An algorithm for customizing slicing floor plan design

Abstract

This paper proposes a linear time algorithm for the customization of a slicing floor plan design, which can be done by customizing its modules in the following two ways: —-by modifying the aspect ratio or by modifying either its width or height while retaining its area,-by modifying its area while keeping either of its aspect ratio or initial width or height. Both of the aforementioned approaches demonstrate that a slicing floor plan can be generated for any aspect ratio and area while preserving the module adjacencies of the original floor plan. A demonstration has been provided for a devised prototype to validate the viability of the aforementioned approaches
