Tool Name:
ShELVEs (Shelving Environmental Layout for Visualization and Evaluations), a Dynamo Generative Design Study Tool
Teaser Image:
Overview (Recap and Changes):
In my work in off-planet habitation, some of the design considerations for wall stowage are certain aesthetic choices, stowage arrangements, volume optimization, and accessibility to stored items. For wall storage and shelving in daily life, many of these considerations (and more!) also apply. Specifically, the ShELVEs tool helps to evaluate different arrangements. Some examples are below: Image1, Image2, Image3.
