I am doing a research about interactive spaces in universities buildings, and I wish to measure this interaction by analyzing several variables that shape the interactive space including: visual connection, thermal comfort, daylight, furniture, circulation.
I wish to do this study by measuring these variable using Grasshopper in Rhino.
The point is that I can measure the environmental variables by ladybug but if I want to measure the non- physical variables, do you recommend any plugin?
Hello,
for thermal comfort, daylight and solar access in Grasshopper you can use DIVA https://www.solemma.com/Diva.html and Ladybug Tools https://www.ladybug.tools/ . Recently we released the first set of components of a Grasshopper plug-in for solar studies Solar Toolbox https://www.food4rhino.com/app/solar-toolbox . For the moment it generates solar envelopes and calculate sun light hours and sun path. For view analysis you can also use Ladybug Tools.

Dear Francesco...thanks for you answer ... I know about Diva snd ladybug for analyzing enviromental factor but I wish to know if there is a plugin to measure or evaluate and analyze the visual connection, circulation and transparency in the space..If someone have experince with Space syntax ...is it helpful here?
Here you may receive very good amswers but Grasshopper3d.com is , in my opinion, the best place to ask your question. You might want to use physical sensors, real cameras, so on and so forth. See the link below as an example. You might benefit asking people there who share similar interests.
