User Activity Simulation Model for the Improvement of Space Planning in Office Buildings
User activity is the first thing need to be considered in the process of space planning design. Many methods are applied to generate or optimize the space planning alternatives based on the single objective function, graphical theory or global constraint methods. However, most of these works are not user-centered and implemented on plane. In this paper, an outline of a user activity simulation prototype is introduced, which aims to simulate and predict the scenario of users’ activities in 3 dimensional virtual environments. Based on this model, users and architects can evaluate the geometrical and topological attributes of the spaces in office buildings during the briefing and design stage. Thus the recommendations and suggestions are generated after the evaluation, which can be used to optimize the space planning of the office building. For the aim to facilitate the users and architects to specify their requirements and assess the design, an evaluation system containing subjective and objective indicators is also built in this paper.
