Computational Design For Architectural Space Planning Of Commercial Exhibitions - A Framework For Visitors Interaction Using Parametric Design And Agent-Based Modeling, Nihal Morsi, Shaimaa Kamel, Hanan Sabry, Ayman Assem
Architecture and Planning Journal (APJ)
Using computational tools for evaluating spatial layouts of commercial exhibitions provides an opportunity for assessment of performance before execution. However, most evaluation techniques take into consideration only the physical qualities of the built environment, excluding important factors such as crowds. Crowds are essentially dynamic obstacles that hinder visibility and can induce flight response, but they are also a sign of good exposure when in reasonable amounts. This is mostly due to the challenge of quantifying spatial qualities such as users’ interaction and movement for computational representations. This paper proposes a framework using agent-based modeling for simulating user interaction in commercial …

Gestural Design - Hand Tracking For Digital Drawing, Jordan A. Kanter, Kamil Quinteros
Architecture and Planning Journal (APJ)
Computational design is increasingly interested in the active feedback between the user/designer and the digital space. Often, our initial instinct as designers comes from a gesture, a movement of the hands that gets translated into sketches and 3D models via the tools available to us. While the physical realm allows for muscle memory, tactile feedback, and creative output via movement, digital design often negates the body of the designer as it sequesters us into a screen-mouse-hand relationship. Moreover, current CAD software tools often reinforce this standardization, further limiting the potential of physical bodily gestures as a vehicle for architectural form-making. …
