Abstract

Setting up an exhibition hall with its exhibits, circulation, and entries, has infinite number of alternatives related to many constrains. In order to arrange exhibits inside the hall, some external factors such as (Type of exhibits - Exhibition techniques - Visitor’s behavior…etc.) should be taken into consideration. To achieve a set up close to the optimum a great effort will be done.
As a result of the paradigm shift occurred in computer applications that removes the burden of common software, new ideology in digital field shows revolutionary solutions to studying and comparing design permutations. According to that the architectural design ideology for many types of buildings especially the museum has been developed rapidly. In order to facilitate the set up of an exhibition hall’s design, the designer could benefit from the computational methods to achieve an automated design stages. This paper proposes a new digital method with an application for exhibit’s arrangement in museum’s halls, related to preadjusted rules for the set up of hall
