=Abstract=
This paper presents a computational approach to generate and optimize traditionally inspired housing solutions in the city of Baghdad.
The study first presents a computational method to explore the possible design spaces of the houses. Then the study moves from massive customization to mass customization and presents a genetic algorithm to optimize design solutions through narrowing down the possible design space based on a performative fitness function. This study achieved the outcome that the semi-traditional, hybrid, house model is the best model for use in Iraq due to the severe environmental conditions represented by extreme temperatures and harsh solar radiation through the contribution of these models to reducing the applied solar radiation and thus reducing the heat gained in the home spaces.
