Various interactive optimization techniques have been proposed to simultaneously consider quantitative and qualitative goals in conceptual architectural design. However, more research is required to understand the effects of these techniques on design processes and outcomes at the building scale, when substantial building performance simulations are considered. This paper presents a design study involving 34 participants who engaged with live feedback from surrogate models of structural and energy performance, while producing conceptual building geometries in several digital design environments. This study reveals that performance-enabled environments tend to improve simulated design objectives, while designers often prefer more flexibility than traditional automated optimization approaches when given the choice. Together, these preliminary findings encourage further development of interactive approaches to multi-objective early building design.

已经提出了各种交互式优化技术来同时考虑概念性建筑设计中的定量和定性目标。但是，在考虑大量的建筑性能模拟时，需要更多的研究来理解这些技术对建筑规模的设计过程和结果的影响。本文提出了一项设计研究，涉及34位参与者，他们参与了结构和能效替代模型的实时反馈，同时在几种数字设计环境中生成了概念化的建筑物几何形状。这项研究表明，基于性能的环境倾向于改善模拟设计目标，而设计人员在选择时通常比传统的自动优化方法更喜欢灵活性。一起，
