The Floor Plan Design Method of Exhibition Halls in CGAN-Assisted Museum Architecture

The floor plan designs of traditional museum exhibition halls are generally developed according to the position and streamlined accessibility of the exhibits. However, there are often many floors in the same building, and multi-story exhibition halls are similar, so architects often spend a large amount of time and energy designing floors individually. Thus, this paper proposes a conditional generative adversarial network (CGAN)-based method for designing the floor plans of museum exhibition halls, which can help architects to work more efficiently. In this study, the basic concepts and structures of CGAN are first introduced; then, the design and training process of the CGAN model used are described in detail, and the datasets and evaluation metrics adopted are briefly described. In the Results and Discussion sections, this paper presents an example of the generated floor plan design of a museum exhibition hall and evaluates and analyzes the floor plan design of a museum exhibition hall generated using the proposed method. Finally, this paper summarizes the advantages of the proposed method, but also notes its shortcomings. If the number of data sets is not sufficient, the scope of the application will be relatively small. For example, museums converted from certain historical buildings are not applicable. The research results show the following: (1) the method proposed in this paper takes advantage of the CGAN model and can generate a museum exhibition hall floor plan design with certain regularity according to the given conditions, rather than pure random generation. (2) This method can automatically generate a variety of plan designs for museum exhibition halls in different schemes, providing designers with more choices and flexibility. (3) This method can carry out design optimization through human–computer interaction, and iterative improvement can be carried out according to user needs and feedback, which improves the practicability of the design.
