INTEROPERABILITY-BASED OPTIMISATION OF ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN variables in the optimisation run. As in Kilkenny, the windows on the cardinal North and South walls are considerably larger than on the East and West walls. Values of design variables for optimised result are given in Table 6.14. The 3D model of the resulting form is shown in Figure 6.39.
