The research will consider public accessible buildings as test case for the development and implementation of automated wayfaring design for the post-pandemic recovery phase. As part of post-pandemic recovery planning, local government and retail buildings that house essential services for the public will be some of the first to be re-opened (1). This research aims to provide a unique methodology using Rhino and Grasshopper (2) to automate a risk analysis of existing floor plans to identify areas of social distance non-compliance (3). Using generative design methods, the work will go on to automate and implement optimised wayfinding designs to ameliorate the risk of areas identified as non-compliant.
