Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of architectural decoration engineering technology, specifically to a method for constructing office space based on a modular network system. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of office decoration projects, modern enterprises are increasingly inclined towards open-plan office space designs. This layout aims to promote employee communication and collaboration and meet diverse needs through multifunctional zoning. However, traditional design methods face significant challenges in practical application. Furniture configuration and MEP planning are particularly prominent, and their inefficiency has become a key bottleneck restricting design quality and project progress.

[0003] In current office space design, furniture layout heavily relies on the designer's experience and manual operation. Designers need to repeatedly measure dimensions and adjust positions, a process prone to errors in standardization due to subjective judgment. For example, insufficient aisle width may violate fire safety regulations, while excessively small furniture spacing affects user comfort. Furthermore, changes in client needs often lead to multiple reworks, severely slowing down project progress. Simultaneously, there is a significant disconnect between mechanical and electrical system planning and furniture layout, as they belong to different design stages and lack a collaborative mechanism. Socket locations often cannot match the actual furniture positions, forcing later modifications and wasting resources. When electrical wiring conflicts with furniture, exposed wiring not only affects aesthetics but also poses safety hazards. In addition, traditional designs fixate on spatial functions, making it difficult to adapt to personnel changes and organizational adjustments. Fixed partitions and rigid layouts make spatial reconstruction costly, often requiring destructive modifications during functional conversions, reducing space utilization efficiency.

[0004] At its root, the technological limitations stem from barriers to multidisciplinary collaboration and outdated design tools. Architectural, interior, and mechanical / electrical data exist in separate systems with incompatible formats, making real-time synchronization of design changes difficult. Cross-disciplinary collaboration relies on manual communication, resulting in inefficient information transfer and a rising error rate.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to study a method for constructing office spaces based on a modular network system. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a method for constructing office spaces based on a modular network system, which effectively solves the problem of inefficiency in existing furniture configuration and electromechanical planning.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this invention is: a method for constructing office space based on a modular network system, comprising the following steps. Step 1: Standardization of architectural drawings Standardize the format characteristics of the input architectural drawings; Step 2: Modular Processing Read the data information of the architectural drawings, and process the architectural drawings into multiple modular sections according to the design specifications; Step 3: Construct rule allocation Assign corresponding construction rules to multiple module partitions; the construction rules include furniture dimensions, aisle dimensions, and edge dimensions. Step 4: Extract grid data Read the data type of the modular partition and extract the building grid; the building grid includes a first axis and a second axis, wherein the first axis is perpendicular to the second axis; Step 5: Determine the central axis The area to be planned is determined according to the design specifications. The area to be planned is a rectangle enclosed by the first axis and the second axis. A first central axis and a second central axis parallel to the first axis and the second axis are drawn from the center of the rectangle. Step Six: Determine the placement area; Based on the first and second central axes and the dimensions of the passageway, the passageway area is planned; based on the first and second axes and the dimensions of the edge, the edge area is planned; the area enclosed by the edge area and the passageway area is the placement area. Step 7: Arrange the furniture Based on the furniture dimensions, place the furniture along the first axis or the second axis, and determine the placement scheme that maximizes the number of pieces. Step 8: Determine the locations of electromechanical points Determine the locations of electromechanical points based on the furniture placement, and place electromechanical markers at these points.

[0008] Furthermore, in step four, both the first axis and the second axis pass through the center of the column.

[0009] Furthermore, a coordinate system is constructed with the center of a column as the coordinate point, the first axis as the vertical axis, and the second axis as the horizontal axis. The coordinates of the columns enclosing the area to be planned are extracted, and the positions of the first and second central axes in the coordinate system are determined based on the column coordinates.

[0010] Furthermore, the passageway area extends to both sides with the central axis as the center and half the passageway size as the extension reference to obtain the passageway boundary. The boundary line is extended to the planned area based on the edge size using the first axis and the second axis. The intersection area of ​​the boundary line and the passageway boundary is the placement area.

[0011] Furthermore, using AutoCAD's attribute extraction function or the third-party plugin CADPipe, the column center coordinates can be extracted and automatically aligned with the axis.

[0012] Furthermore, in step seven, furniture is placed according to the first axis placement direction and the second axis placement direction respectively, and the placement scheme with the largest number of furniture pieces is output.

[0013] Furthermore, the method for marking electromechanical points involves extracting the center point of the furniture placement and alternately configuring electromechanical points from both sides towards the center.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are: This invention provides an innovative design method based on grid-based layout thinking, which builds a modular functional system to achieve efficient transformation of office space functional layout. Its value analysis includes the following points: 1. Based on modular construction thinking, the position and quantity of modules can be flexibly adjusted according to the owner's ideas during the scheme stage, which improves the approval rate of design schemes and effectively saves communication time and travel costs.

[0015] 2. With the support of prefabricated partition wall and furniture systems, materials can be used sustainably and are environmentally friendly.

[0016] 3. During the construction phase, new projects are laid out in a grid according to this design method. When modifications are needed, there is no need to demolish concealed engineering points; the existing electromechanical grid can be used to modify different functional modules. This can shorten the construction period by 30% and save more than 60% of the modification cost.

[0017] 4. This invention can be extended to the rapid transformation of decoration design schemes for various office spaces such as maker spaces, leased office spaces, and business incubators.

[0018] This invention reconstructs the office space design paradigm through a modular network system, achieving a leapfrog upgrade from "experience-driven" to "data-driven" and from "static design" to "dynamic adaptation." Its technological value lies not only in improved efficiency and cost optimization, but also in providing a reusable technical framework for the future development of smart offices and green buildings through standardized and flexible methodological innovation. Compared to traditional technologies, this solution exhibits significant competitive advantages in terms of standardization, economy, and sustainability, and possesses broad industry application value.

[0021] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments: Example 1 aims to provide a method for constructing office spaces based on a modular network system. Currently, furniture arrangement in the design process remains largely manual, requiring designers to rely on personal experience to repeatedly refine dimensional relationships on a two-dimensional plane. This workshop-style approach is not only inefficient but also lacks standardization due to the absence of intelligent verification mechanisms: aisle widths are not dynamically calculated according to fire safety regulations, often resulting in emergency evacuation routes being obstructed by filing cabinets; workstation spacing is estimated visually, leading to frequent breaches of the ergonomically required minimum operating space of 0.9 meters. More seriously, the design scheme and the electromechanical system are often disconnected. Electrical engineers' pre-designed socket locations based on the original building structure often conflict with later furniture layout adjustments. In a technology park case, 37% of workstations had to use exposed cable trays because desktop equipment and power interfaces were misaligned by more than 0.5 meters, affecting both aesthetics and increasing the risk of overloaded wiring. This disconnect between design, electromechanical, and construction stages results in an average of 28% change orders, directly increasing project costs by more than 15%. Based on this, this embodiment provides a method for constructing office space based on a modular network system.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, a method for constructing office space based on a modular network system includes the following steps: Step 1: Standardization of architectural drawings The format characteristics of the input architectural drawings are standardized. During implementation, AutoCAD's attribute extraction function or the third-party plugin CADPipe is used to extract the column center coordinates and automatically align them with the axis lines. At the same time, all types of dashed lines and dotted lines are uniformly converted into standard axis line types. Decorative fills and irrelevant blocks are deleted in batches using scripts, while structural lines, annotations, and key symbols are retained to simplify the drawing content and facilitate subsequent processing.

[0023] Step 2: Modular Processing The system reads architectural drawings and processes them into multiple modular sections according to design specifications. An adaptive Vorono diagram segmentation algorithm is used, with the core tube and MEP shafts as seed points, to generate initial module outlines. A genetic algorithm is then used for optimization, with space utilization, circulation smoothness, and lighting uniformity as fitness functions, to iteratively optimize the module boundaries.

[0024] Step 3: Construct rule allocation Assign corresponding construction rules to multiple module partitions; the construction rules include furniture size, aisle size, and edge size; provide corresponding construction rules according to the corresponding module, that is, each module is configured with the corresponding type of furniture size, aisle size, and edge size.

[0025] Step 4: Extract grid data Read the data type of the modular partition and extract the building grid; the building grid includes a first axis and a second axis, wherein the first axis is perpendicular to the second axis.

[0026] In this embodiment, both the first axis and the second axis pass through the center of the column. By analyzing the axis grid data and combining it with the configured furniture dimensions, a planar horizontal and vertical grid system specific to this project, as well as a corresponding electromechanical matching point grid system, are determined.

[0027] In specific implementation, this embodiment extracts the building grid of the office area based on architectural and structural drawings. The project has a fan-shaped layout; by extracting the building grid, a basic square unit with dimensions of 13200*8400mm can be derived. Figure 2 As shown.

[0028] Step 5: Determine the central axis The area to be planned is determined according to the design specifications. This area is a rectangle enclosed by a first axis and a second axis. A first central axis and a second central axis, parallel to the first and second axes respectively, are drawn from the center of the rectangle. In practical implementation, a modular layout design unit with multiple modes can be designed, such as using the area between four columns as a unit. A coordinate system is constructed with the center of one column as the coordinate point, the first axis as the vertical axis, and the second axis as the horizontal axis. The coordinates of the columns enclosing the area to be planned are extracted, and the positions of the first and second central axes within the coordinate system are determined based on these coordinates.

[0029] Step Six: Determine the placement area; Based on the first and second central axes and the dimensions of the passageway, the passageway area is planned; based on the first and second axes and the dimensions of the edge, the edge area is planned; the area enclosed by the edge area and the passageway area is the placement area; in specific implementation, the passageway area is extended to both sides with the central axis as the center and half of the passageway dimension as the extension reference to obtain the passageway boundary; the boundary line is extended from the first and second axes based on the dimensions of the edge within the area to be planned to obtain the boundary line; the area where the boundary line intersects with the passageway boundary is the placement area.

[0030] Step 7: Arrange the furniture Based on the furniture dimensions, place the furniture along either the first axis or the second axis, and determine the placement scheme that maximizes the number of pieces placed. Place the furniture according to the first axis and the second axis respectively, and output the placement scheme that maximizes the number of pieces placed.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, the auxiliary line at the midpoint of the longitudinal column spacing is marked. This embodiment uses a standard 1200*600mm office furniture arrangement as an example. Using the formula "longitudinal column spacing length / office furniture size", the number of furniture pieces can be calculated: 13200 / 1200 = 11. The furniture is then arranged by extending upwards and downwards from the center line, as follows... Figure 3 As shown, if the distance Y from both ends to the axis is less than the "furniture width dimension", furniture placement can be stopped. In this project, the Y value is 600mm, which meets the requirement that Y is less than 1200mm. The two middle workstations are removed, and a public aisle is added to the office area. The width variable X must meet the specification requirements, X≥1500mm. This will give the number of furniture units in the longitudinal layout.

[0032] Mark the midpoint of the horizontal column spacing. With furniture arranged face-to-face, each group of furniture is 1200mm wide, allowing for 7 groups of furniture to be arranged horizontally. According to the requirement that "the minimum aisle width between workstations is 1400mm," the spacing between workstations must be greater than 1400mm. As shown in the figure, 3 groups are arranged horizontally with a spacing of 1200mm, which does not meet the requirement. Therefore, in this embodiment, a horizontal column spacing of 8400mm can accommodate 2 groups of face-to-face workstation furniture. This leads to the basic unit grid layout plan of this project, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown.

[0033] Step 8: Determine the locations of electromechanical points Based on the furniture placement, determine the electromechanical points and place electromechanical markings at these points.

[0034] The method for marking electromechanical points involves extracting the center point of the furniture placement and alternately arranging electromechanical points from both sides towards the center. This embodiment is based on... Figure 5The resulting plane is used to plan the electromechanical point grid. The red circles represent the electromechanical end points. The size of the electromechanical grid in this project is 4200*2400mm.

[0035] The points corresponding to the electromechanical grid are uniformly equipped with universal base boxes, and the surface cover plates need to be adjusted according to different functions. Specific operations are as follows: (1) The panel at the corresponding point below the workstation shall be a cable outlet panel; (2) Furniture that does not have desktop ports, such as the area under a small meeting table, can use floor socket panels; (3) For locations that are temporarily not in use due to functional conversion, a blank panel can be used.

[0036] Place the modules into the architectural floor plan according to the functional requirements, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the number of furniture pieces can be adjusted based on the location of the passageways in the floor plan. If functional modules need to be adjusted, their positions can be moved to achieve the desired functionality.

[0037] During the implementation phase, furniture and partition systems are all prefabricated and manufactured in the factory, then installed on-site. This allows for the recycling of materials and furniture later on. After the decoration project is completed, if a change in layout is needed, there is no need to adjust the locations of concealed works; simply adjust the corresponding positions of the modules according to their content to achieve functional transformation.

[0038] This embodiment provides a modular functional system based on a grid-based layout concept. By prioritizing modular system construction and combining it with prefabricated technology, it achieves efficient design of office space functional layouts, facilitating rapid and efficient confirmation of design solutions and improving their sustainable utilization. In practical applications of office decoration projects, by using prefabricated systems for interior partitions and office furniture, and adhering to design rules for corridors and edges, sustainable use is achieved. This not only allows for flexible transformation of functional areas but also further reduces later renovation costs, effectively shortens the construction cycle, ensures quality, and yields significant results.

[0039] Therefore, this embodiment establishes gridded units based on building axis grids, with reliable data sources, resulting in a highly feasible design. The functional areas of the public office space are not limited by the end points of concealed works, achieving efficient and flexible adjustment and transformation during the renovation phase. The modular design and prefabricated module installation ensure sustainable use of materials, making it green and environmentally friendly. Furthermore, the combination of factory-supplied materials guarantees quality and effectively saves construction time.

[0040] The office space construction method provided in this embodiment achieves planned layout through a modular network system. The core process begins with the standardized processing of architectural drawings. AutoCAD tools are used to extract the center coordinates of columns and automatically align them with the building's axis. Simultaneously, redundant information such as decorative fills and irrelevant blocks is cleaned up, and dashed lines and dotted lines are uniformly converted into standard axis line types, forming a clear digital drawing foundation. Based on this, the Vorono diagram algorithm is used to adaptively segment key points such as the core tube and electromechanical shafts, generating initial module outlines. Then, a genetic algorithm is superimposed to perform three-dimensional optimization of the module boundaries. Through iterative calculations of fitness functions such as space utilization, circulation smoothness, and lighting uniformity, the shape and proportion of each functional area are dynamically adjusted, ultimately forming a modular zoning scheme that meets multi-objective constraints.

[0041] Each module partition is associated with a pre-defined building rule library, where parameters such as furniture dimensions, aisle width, and edge allowances are standardized according to the type of office scenario. The system establishes a spatial coordinate system by extracting building grid data, determines an orthogonal axis network based on the column center, and simultaneously generates a gridded system of electromechanical points to achieve spatial mapping between the building structure and the electromechanical system. In the specific layout stage, the geometric center is first calculated based on rectangular units, and primary and secondary central axes parallel to the building axis are extended. The passage area is delineated by extending to both sides according to the aisle dimensions, and the boundaries of the furniture placement area are formed by combining edge setback parameters. The furniture layout is simulated in two modes along the grid direction, calculating the maximum capacity along the first and second axes respectively, and selecting the optimal placement scheme to ensure spatial coupling between functional facilities and furniture arrays. The entire process, through algorithm optimization and rule constraints, significantly improves space utilization and electromechanical system matching efficiency, forming a reusable standardized building system.

[0042] The embodiments of the present invention described above do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of the present invention. The basic concept of the present invention lies in using a planned layout method to achieve efficient positioning and determination of furniture placement and electromechanical points. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
