An algorithm for identifying simple states in complex rectangular shapes
Session
Architecture and Spatial Planning
Description
Simple states are introduced by Saliu (2018) as a new computational technique in help of analysis and synthesis of complex rectangular hospital buildings. Due to their ability to exist at the same time as dimensional states and non-dimensional ones, and their ability to keep unbroken main topological, logical and dimensional qualities of abstract shapes, simple states are used as instances in the overall schemata for early stages of design of hospital buildings. In this paper an introduction of simple states is presented and a graphic algorithm for automatic detection of simple states is created. This algorithm uses contour line of an architectural shape including courtyards as inputs and generates its simple states automatically.
Keywords:
simple states, algorithm, rectangular shapes, contour lines
