Interactive Simulation

<1> 2D Diagram - simulation arranges spaces to satisfy the given connections in the datasheet.

<3> External Factors - the user can modify the diagram through extra objects. <2> 3D Diagram - by introducing level data the diagram rearanges in three dimensions.

The third part of the process allows the data from the spreadsheet to drive a physical simulation which arranges the spaces while satisfying all the requrements and constraints.

The user can edit the output interactively by changing the requrements in the spreadsheet, for example changing the strenght of connections, adding connections, assigning levels or giving a floor area. Another way to interactively adapt the simulation is through anchor points which could represent any external factors, like proximities to context key points, environmental considerations like sunlight and views, social like free access to the entrance, etc.

<4> Floor Plates - the layout is further simplified and divided into a limited number of floors.

<6> Programmatic Model - the mass is divided into sector according to program.

Interactive Simulation

<5> Massing Model - quick volumetric represantation.

<7> Adaptive Skin - one step further to an architectural proposal.
