The aim of this exercise is to create different production programs according to the income and outcome needs, number, footprint and movement of the machines used in the programs. [Grasshopper]

The second step is to find the optimal positions for the programs of the productive system in relation to each other according to connection between programs, area of each program, maximum area of movement. [Space Syntax]

The third and final step is to record different solutions according to strings maximum and minimum length, strings strength. [Kangaroo 2]

The design of each program is based on the research resulting parameters, resumed in the following chart:

Through Space Syntax the program areas were defined, the programs were connected through strings according to the connection needs, and a maximum area of movement was defined: the area in which the programs have the freedom to move.

With Kangaroo 2, strings maximum and minimum length and strings strength parameters were set, according to the connection importance between the programs. A fixed position was given to the Data Center program.

In the following images, 4 resulting position options:
