Behavioral Control Of Space

Oscillating Environments practices isovist analyses on the Lovell Health House in order to understand relationships between privacy and extent of view. By placing a vantage point in the center of the room and allowing a 360 degree viewing range, we are able to visualize how an individual may experience connections with both the exterior and other interior spaces simultaneously. Structural rhythms of the Lovell Health House are used to create a gridded framework that acts as a preliminary plan. The study evaluates

3 different behaviors of random wall rotation generations, in order to convey how each program’s isovist geometry could change in a positive way. The 3 behaviors noted are defined by rotations of 30/45/90 degrees.
