bookAutomating Repetitive Calculations

Architectural projects often involve a range of repetitive calculations that can consume significant time and introduce potential for manual error. Tasks like recalculating room areas after design changes, updating room schedules, or revising material quantities are common in daily workflows. Automating these processes with Python not only speeds up project delivery, but also ensures consistency and accuracy in your results. By writing scripts to handle these calculations, you can focus more on design and decision-making, rather than getting bogged down by routine number crunching.

# List of rooms with their updated dimensions (length, width in meters) rooms = [ {"name": "Living Room", "length": 6.0, "width": 4.5}, {"name": "Bedroom 1", "length": 4.0, "width": 3.5}, {"name": "Bedroom 2", "length": 3.8, "width": 3.2}, {"name": "Kitchen", "length": 3.0, "width": 2.8} ] # Update each room with its new area for room in rooms: room["area"] = room["length"] * room["width"] # Print updated room data for room in rooms: print(f"{room['name']}: {room['area']} m²")

This script demonstrates how Python automates the process of updating room areas after a design change. By looping through a list of rooms, the script calculates each room's area using the latest length and width values. The loop ensures that every room in the dataset is processed without manual intervention, updating the area property directly in each room's dictionary. This eliminates the risk of overlooking a room or making calculation mistakes, especially when working with large projects. Once updated, the script prints out the new areas, giving you an immediate overview of the revised space allocations.
