Rule-Driven Approaches to Efficient Early-Stage Retail Planning
This course introduces a procedural generation framework designed for the early stages of shopping centre layout development, focusing on linear configurations. Using rule-based algorithms, learners will gain skills to automate the placement of walkways, tenant spaces, atriums, and essential infrastructure like escalators and staircases. Key topics include encoding design rules to optimize space efficiency, tenant visibility, and circulation flow, integrating human-centered design with computational methods. This framework provides a tool for architects and urban planners to streamline layout creation, enabling quick, adaptable layout variations in response to complex design challenges and spatial requirements.
