Activity shapes: towards a spatiotemporal analysis in architecture

Computational spatial analyses play an important role in architectural design processes, providing feedback about spatial configurations that may inform design decisions. Current spatial analyses convey geometrical aspects of space, but aspects such as space use are not encompassed within the analys...

Current spatial analyses convey geometrical aspects of space, but aspects such as space use are not encompassed within the analyses, although they are fundamental for architectural programming. Through this study, we initiate the discussion of including human activity as an input that will change the focus of current computational spatial analyses toward a detailed understanding of activity patterns in space and time. We envision that the emergent insights will serve as guidelines for future evaluation of design intents motivated by spatial occupancy, since we –designers– mentally constructing a model of the situation and activities on it (Eastman, 2001). Los análisis espaciales computacionales juegan un papel importante en los procesos de diseño arquitectónico, proporcionando una retroalimentación sobre las configuraciones espaciales que pueden apoyar las decisiones de diseño. Actualmente se analizan aspectos geométricos del espacio, pero aspectos como el uso del espacio no se incluyen dentro del análisis, a pesar de que son fundamentales para la programación arquitectónica. A través de este estudio iniciamos la discusión sobre la inclusión de las actividades humanas como un elemento que re-direccionará el enfoque de los análisis computacionales actuales hacia un entendimiento detallado de los patrones de actividad en el espacio y el tiempo. Tenemos la visión de que las ideas emergentes servirán como directrices para la evaluación futura de las intenciones de diseño motivados por la ocupación espacial, considerando que nosotros – diseñadores– construimos mentalmente un modelo de dichas situaciones y las actividades que se desarrollan en dichos espacios (Eastman, 2001).
