Abstract: While multi-objective optimization (MOO) gains traction in building performance, traditional strategies—like historic daylight-ventilation-shading designs—are sidelined as mere decorations, with untapped environmental potential and limited computational integration.

This study bridges this gap via a Lingnan heritage-MOO envelope framework targeting UDI, GA, and illuminance CV. Parametric modeling converts traditional geometric features into computable rules for designer-guided optimization. Key variables (gradient patterns, porosity, spatial configurations) are simulated in Grasshopper with NSGA-II, generating Pareto solutions analyzed by k-means clustering.

Case results show optimized envelopes improve UDI, GA, and uniformity while retaining traditional aesthetics. The research presents a “heritage-performance” integration approach, offering early-stage methods to merge high-performance design with architectural tradition.
