COVID Office Occupancy: Building a Mega-Graph

Consider this post, part 3 of 3 in the series on using Dynamo and Revit to solve occupancy problems in the pandemic era, is more of an addendum. So much of the effort involved with this project centered around the craft of script-building that it deserved its own discussions and collection of lessons-learned. I've built a few mega-graphs like this

COVID Office Occupancy: Multi-Objective Optimization

Last summer, I detailed an algorithm with Dynamo to solve for a maximally packed office seating chart given social distancing requirements. It was an example of single-objective optimization because the goal was to maximize just one metric—the percentage of seats occupied—with a single rule: an occupied seat must be at least a fixed distance fr

COVID Office Occupancy: Single-Objective Optimization

Planning for Social Distancing As we've learned more about the COVID-19 virus and as public health guidelines evolve, we looked for ways that computational methods can help designers plan for safer spaces. In this post, part 1, we'll look at how Dynamo can work with Revit to help determine office or school occupancy plans that comply with social d
