Agent-based Semiology

Agent-based Semiology aims to investigate, simulate, and predict contemporary spatial occupation patterns in social spaces in order to understand and develop the performance criteria that interactively link these spaces, their interiors, and their users.
The research ambition at hand is to develop a method of architectural design that generates spatial environments with high social performativity. The cross-disciplinary approach combines elements from digital crowd simulation, spatial statistics and computer graphics with the aim of developing an explicit design process, that understands contemporary spatial organisations as coherent systems of signification without relying on the familiar codes found in the existing built environment.
Research teams will present the latest research and put concepts, methods and resuts up for discussion. With Patrik Schumacher, Robert Neumayr, Josip Bajcer, Mathias Fuchs, Tyson Hosmer, Soungmin Yu & Sobitha Ravichandran, Uli Blum & Philipp Siedler

The research is supported by the FWF's PEEK funding program.
