| summary |
Spatiotemporal Modeling towards human-centered metrics for architecture refers to the integration of a set of parametric models, including: 3D models, building type and functions, schedules, Agent-based simulations (ABS) of human activities, and Computational-Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models of airflows. The meta-goal is to develop human-centric metrics for improving humans’ quality of life. This work specifically focuses on virus spread modeling, thus we added a fifth model: The virus characteristics model, which includes the virus survival time and transmissibility through Direct, Airborne, and Fomite pathways. The objectives are to integrate the models to determine the impact of specific parameters on human-centric metrics, in this case the “risk of exposure” in certain scenarios. We developed ABS and CFD simulations in Anylogic and Eddy3D platforms, respectively. The integration of all models was implemented in Grasshopper.
This paper presents three pilot studies, in the context of the Vertically Integrated Project (VIP) program, using a K-12 school project provided by Perkins&Will architecture firm. We explain the structure of the VIP, interdisciplinary research-based class, emphasizing the sub-projects, research designs, and preliminary results. The technical integration of the aforementioned models into one spatiotemporal model aims to communicate the probability of risk under specific scenarios. Examples of pilot studies under this framework include: What is the best high school schedule to reduce the probability of contagion, in a regular weekday, with/out the implementation of policies such as social-distancing?; What is the impact of a door handle on reducing contamination?; What are the safest chairs in which to sit in a classroom in relation to the HVAC system configuration? among others. The analyses for specific scenarios helps propose general solutions for spaces, behaviors, and protocols, to increase human safety inside buildings. |
