3.3 SITE EXPERIMENT

Pedestrian Path Simulation

Experimenting with slime molds on-site to find the best connectivity solutions. The entire connection runs from the residential area to the arena area.

As the venue's landmark, the showground is the activity area with a transportation center and the largest visitor volume. Hence the showground is set as the position of slime mold seeds. And key intersections and regions serve as food for slime molds.

As an important area, the showground receives a high volume of visitors daily on weekends or during events. Tourists will be evacuated from Showgrouund to various areas, including residential areas, industrial areas, car parking, train stations, and other scenic spots. In the mapping, dotted circles represent traffic intersections, and solid circles represent essential sites.

Although the seeds are located at the location of the showground, during the process of the slime molds looking for food, the slime molds near the seeds will eventually die due to the lack of food, forming a vacuum area near the showground. This vacuum area means the circulation will connect around the entire showground area. Then the network logic concentrates from a larger scale to a small scale. After connecting the whole site, the connecting network of the project site is intercepted as the bridge frame.
