Annual Meeting Proceedings

Author(s): Alireza Karduni, Christian Sjoberg, Christopher Beorkrem & Jefferson Ellinger

The variety of quantitative optimizations available inBIM software have the potential to leave more humanfactors to become secondary considerations in design.Computational tools can begin to embrace predictivemodels of human behavior in order to generate solutionswhich better serve their occupants, and betterrepresent basic knowledge of human conditions. Thisproject explores the approximation of human movementbehaviors within an architectural space throughthe development of Animal, an agent-based model ofcirculation for Dynamo within the Revit environment.
