Scoring Optimal Adjacencies

As buildings evolve and grow we often intuit ideal adjacencies. In the age of computational design, we need quantifiable metrics to evaluate buildings. Evaluating adjacencies is a simple step in that direction. What, Why and How: Applications of Pathfinding Over the past few weeks we’ve spent time identifying rooms and finding paths between them. Now […]

Study Adjacencies through Walking Paths

In this exercise, we’ll leverage work from the automated room outlining script to find walking paths and distances between room without drawing a single line. What, Why and How: Every day we use GPS on our phones to navigate across the city, using real time traffic data to find the best way to our destination. Yet […]
