bookSpatial Relationships and Adjacency

Spatial relationships are fundamental to architectural design, shaping how spaces interact and function together. Two of the most important concepts are adjacency and connectivity. Adjacency refers to which rooms or spaces are next to each other, while connectivity describes how spaces are linked, such as through doors or corridors. Understanding these relationships is crucial for effective planning, as they influence circulation, privacy, acoustics, and the overall usability of a building. For example, placing a kitchen next to a dining room improves convenience, while separating noisy and quiet zones enhances comfort.

# Representing a floor plan as a dictionary where each room lists its adjacent rooms floor_plan = { "Living Room": ["Kitchen", "Hallway"], "Kitchen": ["Living Room", "Dining Room"], "Dining Room": ["Kitchen", "Hallway"], "Hallway": ["Living Room", "Dining Room", "Bedroom"], "Bedroom": ["Hallway"] }

Using a dictionary to represent a floor plan allows you to quickly access adjacency information. Each key is a room name, and its value is a list of directly adjacent rooms. This makes it simple to check which spaces are next to each other, find all neighbors of a given room, or even trace a path through the building. With this structure, you can efficiently answer questions like "Are the kitchen and dining room adjacent?" or "Which rooms can be reached from the hallway without passing through another space?" This approach supports both simple queries and more complex spatial analyses.

Can you explain how to find all rooms that can be reached from a specific room?

How would you modify the code to include connectivity through corridors or doors?

Can you show how to check if there is a path between two rooms, not just direct adjacency?
