Description The common couch is a public space designed by a process of inputting spheres into an orthogonal grid, then inserting an attractor point which decreases the sphere size as we get closer to the points. Multiple attractor points are used to sculpt the couch. The radii of the spheres that do not intersect are culled, and spaces are generated as a result. For the last step, the sculpting adopts a manual process of deleting to form usable spaces.
