The decisions an architect actually makes are about where things sit, not what they are called. This board is built around three of them, and it shows exactly how far it has got.
One floor of a building several groups have to share. Three choices made early, each hard to undo later. Every combination is one building — eight in total — and each one will be pre-run, so the reading appears the moment you switch.
Whether everyone passes it, or only the people it belongs to.
Whether a group has a room of its own to come back to.
Whether people arriving from another floor are pulled through the shared room.
These eight runs do not exist yet. We would rather show an empty number than a plausible one — nothing on this board is estimated, interpolated or illustrative. What you can read now is the question each combination puts. When the runs are done, the figures appear here and the replay opens beside them.
One comparison of this kind has already been run at full scale — a corridor-type plan against a cluster-type one, with the same thirty-six inhabitants. See that result →
We'll tell you first when the board goes live with its runs. Leave your email.
We send nothing but the launch notice.
