Spatial Dynamics: AI & Human Movement Design

“What can space do?” is a big question that resonates with every architect, practitioner, or design student alike at least once. Everyone may have a personal answer to such a simple question. At its fundamental level, a well-designed space may organize movement, distribute land use, influence crime and safety, affect urban carbon footprint, and determine land value. It becomes evident the word “Space” is such a vast term; therefore, in our workshop, “Space” will refer to the physical construction of architecture as its creator designed it.However, to truly understand space, we must first understand its users – ourselves, as humans. A chimpanzee will not use the art gallery the same way we do. The contradiction has led to our workshop, which will challenge the subjects of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and various experimental design philosophies concerning how human behavior interprets the architectural body and maneuvers through it.
