The students examine patterns of crowd-flows in an extraordinary urbanisation phenomena: festivals. They will learn how to program simulations using Processing/Java. Previous programming knowledge is not necessary. Furthermore they will gain insights into other analysis methods and learn about their significance, strengths and weaknesses.
Students will look at those patterns from two sides. One being the view of a planner asking to find bottle necks or the ideal place for amenities such as booths, toilets etc. Another being the view of visitors. Students will program different behaviours that should compete against each other in order to compare different strategies. Caliente Festival in Zurich will be used as a case study.
