Quantified Buildings and Modelling
Abstract
Professor David Kirsch’s keynote delves into the intricate relationship between human interaction and architectural structures, emphasizing the necessity of studying human behavior within built environments. He introduces the concept of ‘quantified buildings’, a paradigm where architecture is both a determinant and reflection of human activity patterns. Sensor technology and machine learning are highlighted as critical for analyzing extensive datasets to glean insights into human behaviors within these spaces.
Kirsch explores the potential of AI agents in 3D simulated environments for evaluating and enhancing architectural designs. These simulations offer insights into the impact of various architectural and design elements on human activity, addressing the complexities arising from the intersectionality and dynamism of social interactions.
The keynote underscores a transformative potential where architectural design, augmented by technology, becomes an interactive space attuned to complex human behavioral patterns (Kirsch, 2023). This intersection between cognitive science and architecture promises a new era of built environments, reflecting and facilitating the multifaceted aspects of human existence and interaction.
