Spatial Pulse
We investigate the influence of spatial typologies (centrifugal and centripetal spaces) and natural lighting on human social behavior through an interactive virtual environment. By implementing Al-driven NPCs that simulate realistic urban social interactions, the system enables a detailed analysis of how architectural space shapes social dynamics. The integration of personified NPCs with dynamic spatial variables provides a novel approach to understanding the relationship between spatial design and human behavioral patterns in urban contexts. My work mainly foucse on the Al NPC design and the interaction development

RESULT ANALYSIS
Centripetal Space
Conclusion:
1. Warm lighting creates a more intimate atmosphere, enhancing people's desire for social interaction
2. The construction of centripetal space: featuring expansive terrain with clearly defined interactive boundaries, which stimulates people's desire for social interaction
Centrifugal Space
Conclusion:
1. Warm lighting creates a more intimate atmosphere, enhancing people's desire for social interaction
2. Narrow, constricted spaces discourage people from initiating social interaction
