Simulation of Cognitive Agents to Explore Occupants’ Wayfinding Experience in Future Buildings

Explore the development of pre-occupancy simulation tools for evaluating architectural designs and their impact on wayfinding behavior in this 28-minute conference talk. Delve into the interdisciplinary approach combining architecture, cognitive science, and computer science to support human-centered built environments. Learn about the speaker's research on simulating occupants' behavior in mixed-use megastructures and hospital settings. Discover the implementation of Building Information Models, Unity-based simulation models, and visualization techniques to assess operational efficiency and activity choices in future buildings.
