    Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for evaluating productive congestion within an architectural space design. The technique includes generating a space analysis graph for the architectural space design. The technique further includes determining a traversal value for at least a first node of a plurality of nodes included in the space analysis graph, determining a centroid of the plurality of nodes, determining a path within the space analysis graph from at least the first node to the centroid, and determining a productive congestion metric based on at least the path from the first node to the centroid and the traversal value of the first node.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for space frame design involves constructing a load stress map in a geometrical boundary representation of a design space, defining attachment points and load application points in the design space, creating a starting network of interconnecting lines between each two of the attachment points and load application points in the design space, assigning load application factors to each line of the starting network of interconnecting lines based on values of the load stress map, generating potential space frame designs by culling different subsets of lines of the starting network of interconnecting lines for each potential space frame design according to variable culling parameters, evaluating the potential space frame designs with respect to optimization parameters, combining the culling parameters for the potential space frame designs the performance score of which is above a predefined performance threshold, and iterating the steps of generating potential space frame designs and evaluating the potential space frame designs on the basis of the combined culling parameters.
