Generation of public space structure based on digital multi-agent system: Taking the interaction between self-consensus “Stigmergy” particles and the old city area as an example

Abstract

In the study, the ant colony behavior was simulated to establish a parametric multi-agent system with independent consensus “Stigmergy” for interaction with the site. In the experiment, the initial points of the particles correspond to the key historical buildings, and the target points correspond to the important public space nodes. Edit and adjust the motion characteristics, search features, generation and disappearance characteristics of the simulated particles to obtain the main consensus particle swarm distribution and the distributed consensus particle swarm distribution. This form has a compliant or conflicting relationship with the existing urban environment. Using the contours of the self-consensus spatial form, the particle swarm density, and the pointing relationship between the particles and the building can provide a basis for the transformation and renewal of the existing urban environment, thus forming a spatial transformation strategy that more closely matches the user behavior in the space.
