Abstract
The aim of this paper is to present the results of research that seeks to develop simulations to assist architects and urban designers in planning interventions in outdoor spaces. This document will present the methods used to collect data of user dynamics and occupation in open and closed spaces, the patterns observed during the data collection process and a prototype of a simulation implemented using an autonomous agent library from Processing IDE. Open spaces around the University restaurant and atriums of classroom blocks of the Federal University of Santa Catarina are used as case studies. The simulations, represented in two dimensions, were developed to modify the agent’s dynamic by the insertion of new objects in an initial scenario and alteration of environmental parameters, such as temperature or situations of cloud or uncloud sky. The simulation presented in this paper focuses on the different conformation of groups of people, the spatial user flow and the behavior concerning other objects present in an outdoor space, such as trees and benches. The results from this research will assist us to develop tools to predict how patterns of human behavior in outdoor spaces and to assist students in developing their understanding of how small interventions can change the dynamic of a place.
