Abstract

Abstract: Hospital flow line is the result of the mutual adaptation of its spatial layout and business process, which should be regarded as an independent analysis unit in the spatial layout design. Aiming at the phenomenon that the flow lines have the characteristics of both space and flow and are difficult to analyze, a spatial cognitive process of agents is established by introducing structural elements from the spatial syntax analysis as the knowledge coding language of agents. Evaluation indexes of hospital flow line structure based on computational experiment are proposed and implemented. The framework of flow line analysis combining flow line indexes and efficiency indexes is discussed. The analytical tools and methods are expanded for integrating spatial, process and behavioral analysis into building planning and design of hospitals.
