Animal: An Agent-Based Model of Circulation logic for Dynamo

Categories: Papers

The variety of quantitative optimizations available in BIM software has the potential to leave more human factors to become secondary considerations in design. Computational tools can begin to embrace predictive models of human behavior in order to generate solutions which better serve their occupants and better represent basic knowledge of human conditions. This project explores the approximation of human movement behaviors within an architectural space through the development of Animal, an agent- based model of circulation for Dynamo within the Revit environment.
