Space Adjacency Behavior in Space Planning

Abstract

Digitally supported space-planning techniques have been researched and developed for decades. By processing space adjacency data with existing space-planning techniques, an objective space relationship diagram or schematic layout can be produced. These results represent the functional aspect of each project, which can be used as a reference for further design development. With these results, designers can enhance plan layouts with the preferences established by their client or themselves, as well as design styles. In this research, the author proposes a new method of applying personal preference to modify the objective layout, which imitates human interacting behavior as space organizing categories, Space Character.
