Automating Flexible Workspaces is a schedule-driven spatial planning tool that enables designers to generate adaptive office layouts directly in Grasshopper and Rhino. The system takes user inputs including daily schedules, occupancy data, and activity categories—ranging from individual workstations to collaborative spaces and quiet areas—and automatically distributes and reorganizes spatial zones to enhance productivity and teamwork across the workday.

The underlying technology processes CSV schedule data through Python integration, determines optimal space requirements for each activity type based on customizable ratios, and creates zone geometries using Grasshopper components. It employs advanced packing algorithms (OpenNest) for intelligent spatial distribution and features real-time adjustment capabilities through interactive controls and parameter interfaces. The tool includes visual previews with color-coded zones for rapid evaluation of different layout configurations.
