Space Syntax

Information

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.

Comment by Tata fontes on December 17, 2014 at 12:13pm: Hi,

Pirouz thanks so much for all the work. Do you think you can upload the new version, that you refered earlier, the space syntax layout with cardinal directions? Thanks

Comment by Pirouz Nourian on November 17, 2014 at 11:51am: Strange! Anyway I am planning to release a new version with a small bug fix soon; in this version I will take care of a few issues related to the .Net and Rhinocommon version. Hopefully it will be solved. I need to think about it more...

Comment by Frane Zilic on November 17, 2014 at 11:42am: Hi Pirouz

no. I have the latest GH version & latest rhino release running on windows 8.1.

Comment by Pirouz Nourian on November 17, 2014 at 9:57am: Hi Frane, reading the error message again; I get the impression that your GH is not up to date... correct?

Comment by Frane Zilic on November 5, 2014 at 1:12pm: Hi Pirouz.

It works but I have to do it every time I start GH.

You can open the window with the "GrasshopperDevelopperSettings" command in Rhino.

Comment by Pirouz Nourian on November 5, 2014 at 7:06am: Hi Frane,

Happy to hear that it works now; but could you please tell me how exactly you opened this developer settings window?

Best,

Pirouz

Comment by Frane Zilic on November 5, 2014 at 4:30am: Hi Pirouz

I feel stupid... I thought I tried toggling "Memory Load" and it didn't work... I did it now and it works.

So thanks anyway

Bye

Comment by Frane Zilic on November 4, 2014 at 5:42pm: Hi Pirouz

First of all thank you very much for the plugin. I installed and used it in another computer and it was fine but in mine it gives me this error...

An error occured during GHA assembly loading:
Path: C:\Users\Frane\AppData\Roaming\Grasshopper\Libraries\SpaceSyntax_for_GenerativeDesign.gha
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
The GHA file is either damaged or has been made with
a newer version of .NET than Grasshopper itself.
You can try toggling the "Memory Load" option in the
GrasshopperDeveloperSettings command window, it might help.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Any idea why?

Thanks again

Comment by Pirouz Nourian on October 25, 2014 at 6:55am: Hi Edward, happy to hear that. Looks like you have pushed it to the limit :)

Still a few coins don't fit around their hubs, but yes if you let them relax by lowering repulsion you can get a result. Good luck with the rest.

Comment by Edward Whitley on October 24, 2014 at 4:40pm: Hey, so I have deleted a couple connections in the program, and I have manipulated the attraction and repulsion inputs, and I have seemed to solve the problem... unfortunately it is still a little touch and go if I move those sliders too much. But ultimately Im getting a pretty great output I think. Thank you so much Pirouz, for the help and the program.
