dc.description.abstractThis research investigates two analysis techniques, static and dynamic, to analyze the architectural elements in an environment design. The placement of an architectural element within a building design has great impact on various factors like pedestrian flow and visibility of a certain area. In this work we study computer-aided systems to help architects to improve their environment designs. As a first step, we perform a preliminary study to investigate the effects of pillar placements, choice of crowd simulators and flow-density relationships in crowd evacuation scenarios using crowd flow as an objective criterion. Next, we describe the development of two interactive computer-aided systems, CODE and DOME. Both systems are capable of optimizing and analyzing different architectural elements like pillars, obstacles, door-openings and walls. CODE analyzes the architectural elements within an environment using dynamic crowd simulations, whereas DOME analyzes the environments by computing spatial measures from space-syntax analysis which directly relate to human behavior. DOME is integrated within a professional Autodesk Revit pipeline. Both systems are evaluated through user-studies.
