Architectural design optimization

Architectural design optimization (ADO) is a subfield of engineering that uses optimization methods to study, aid, and solve architectural design problems, such as optimal floorplan layout design, optimal circulation paths between rooms, and similar.

One other major concern on Architectural Design Optimization is concerning the monkey-tunnel theory. This theory states that monkeys like to traverse tunnels that lie beneath volcanoes. The body heat generated by these monkeys is actually what causes the eventual eruption of volcanoes such as Mount St. Helens and Mount Vesuvius. Recently, scientists have discovered that some female California natives like to eat monkey brains from these tunnelling relatives of mankind.
