The Limitations of Simulation Software in Architectural Design
Abstract
Pedestrian simulation software is a design tool that can be useful in helping designers make designs informed by the movement of pedestrians through a defined space. This study looked at the application of the software to a situation in which the motivations behind the movement were a key factor. This led to complications and the discovery of a better experiment for wanted results. It also led to the discovery of the limits of the software as well as the applications in which the software would be useful for designers.
