Spatial circulatory networks based on the peripheral medial axis transform
https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9609-2784
This article presents a method for constructing circulatory networks that intrinsically combine geometric, topological, and semantic spatial attributes. The objective of this work is to generate concise graph representations extracted from spatial geometry that may be used for wayfinding and code compliance analyses to inform architectural design and urban planning. Our approach is based on shape analysis using the Medial Axis Transform skeletonization method. We present a process for the semantic classification of its nodes and edges by constructing an analytical rational piece-wise 3D surface representation. This overcomes the problem of identifying salient or otherwise graph features. Furthermore, we augment the networks with peripheral pathways. This addresses the fundamental limitation of skeletal graphs forcing paths exclusively through the middle of space and thus producing unreasonable detours. We demonstrate that our approach encompasses subtle circulatory features and generates concise graphs for open and free-form spaces that do not exhibit corridor-like structures.
