Information

Space Syntax

Space Syntax is a theory of architecture and built environment that seeks to explain the effect of spatial configurations on behavioral patterns of people. SYNTACTIC tools bring Space Syntax theory into parametric design workflows. More information on syntactic design methodology:

The plugin is available for download here: https://genesis-lab.dev/products/syntactic/

This plugin is completely compatible with SpiderWeb for Grasshopper and we hereby thank Richard Schaffranek for all we have learned from this extremely useful plugin

NEW VERSION WAS RELEASED ON JANUARY 25, 2015. 

UPDATE: Genesis Lab [webpage][website] is to modernize, open-source, and develop the toolkit starting in December 2021. Stay tuned for updates through my YouTube Channel and ResearchGate

Hi, All components are ready. We are just wrapping all our VB codes into a GHA.

Dear Pirouz, 

Thank you for the great suggestions. 

1. Can I create a 3D graph representation of the topologies? Can you quickly see the figure1 in the attached paper? 

2. Then, NetworkX would recognise and compute the SP s in the 3D graph? 

3. In the meantime, I made a very heavy model in which I can calculate a limited amount of shortest paths. See the attached image. 

This is a beehive design. The combs which are inhabitable on both sides are radially distributed around a central core. There is a corridor around the inner core, as well as a peripheral gallery. Bees can also move above and below the combs. So I need the 3D dimensions in my model, or my mathematical imagination is not capable of thinking this planarly? I used the library from this link https://github.com/danilnagy/gd_tools but my model is very heavy. I made a triangulated mesh in order to define all the paths that the bees can take and defined random 20 points as start and end points to find the SPs. I guess with your system this would be faster. This image represents how I would like to think of the nest spaces and connectivity but in the honeybee nest case- which is a designed one not a natural one-

Hi  asyimut, 

Interesting question! I would try to build a face-to-face adjacency graph of the meshes in question (e.g. using Ivy or Python) then you can use GH CPython to access NetworkX and compute all shortest paths (or centrality indicators) and do the rest in Python or GH. If you start the Python codes I can help you by giving hints on how to finish them.

Hi Eman Baadullah,

While running the exe installer file you need to specify a location in which the gha component will be placed. Please run it again and specify a location that you can recognise. Then you can follow the instructions of Sama to ensure that the plugin appears in your GH canvas. I hope this resolves the issue. The download link is here: https://genesis-lab.dev/products/syntactic/

Hi.... I am using  Rhino7.14.22010.17001 and the .exe file I have run does not appear in my GH canvas. Is there another location I can download a normal .gh component file? the one I downloaded from food4rhino is incomplete.

also, I did the way Samane explained but it doesn't work.

Comment by asyimut on January 9, 2022 at 10:33am

Hi Guys! I would like to use the idea of adjacency, closeness, betweenness of areas in order to decide on some dimensional parameters of my design. So, potentially I would feed the average shortest paths of each design topology as fitness measure into a genetic algorithm, and maybe Biomorpher. So let's say I subdivide the surfaces which occur below as iterations in Biomorpher and create a graph representation as routes and nodes. Do you know any heuristic which I can calculate the average shortest paths in such way? cheers!

If the plugin does not appear in your canvas, try the following:

Hi there, here is a new book chapter about going beyond analyses towards syntactic evaluations, containing some tutorials: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/354683441_Reuse_On_Evaluat...

Hello gaston, you seem to have downloaded an incomplete new version from Food4Rhino. You can get the last complete version from here:

https://genesis-lab.dev/products/syntactic/

Stay tuned for more updates on Genesis Lab

I hope this helps!

Hello, not all tools are available

How could i solve this issue
