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:

See a video demo-tutorial here

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.

Hi dalec, yep, good news is that I have generalized Isovist Bubble 2D to Isovist Bubble 3D; posted an image here: https://sites.google.com/site/pirouznourian/syntactic-design

next stage is making an Agent-Based Model that requires some time, motivation and peace of mind :)

Hey, good to know that he idea of creating a 3D space configuration is still running... I though it was abandoned :);)

Comment by Pirouz Nourian on August 31, 2015 at 5:15am

Hi Paul Arsene, could you please specify what kind of problem you have with the installation? did you run the installer? did you find the installed folder in your computer? did you drag and drop the GHA onto your GH and make sure it is in your components' folder and that it is unblocked?

Comment by Pirouz Nourian on August 31, 2015 at 5:14am

Hi  Guillermo Varela, I am happy that you've found the tools useful. I am currently having a very intensive schedule finishing my PhD, so I cannot work on tutorials. We have documented the generative process however in two papers. Just beware that this process is still a WIP. Looking at what you've been trying to do, I guess you are trying to plan with a non-planar graph. Please have a look at this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planar_graph

I am not working on rectangular layout anymore. Instead I am working on a much more generic solution using our Isovist bubble2D and Isovist Bubble3D constructs. It will take a while until I make sure we have some stable solution to release. Anyway... if you have a planar graph, i.e. a graph that can be possibly drawn on a piece of paper without its edges crossing each other then the Tutte algorithm and our triangulation and dual graph tools should work; provided that you have enough connections with the NEWS sides. Please use the example file that comes with SYNTACTIC 2.7 and start from tweaking that definition with your inputs. I hope these ideas help.

Hi Pirouz;

Just to let you know that Install doesn't work here either, on windows 7

Regards

Hi Pirouz! Congratulations and thank you for this amazing plugin.

I have been trying to use it for my final work, but I have some problems using the syntactic design tools for generative design to create a pavilion combining parametric design with the spatial patterns of C. Alexander.

I am trying to use SYNTACTIC to make a parametric base plan but I don´t know how to transform the tutte convex drawing in a voronoi or rectangular design. 

Could you upload the tutorial of the generative process?

I don´t know how to scale the tuttedrawing to see it ok, because the bubbles aren´t tangents and the dual graph doesn´t works well.

Thanks in advance

Guillermo

Hi all, I need to showcase a few design processes in which the toolkit SYNTACTIC has been used in my PhD dissertation. Of course, I will give full credit and acknowledgements as appropriate. I would be very thankful if you could kindly share your work samples. It is especially interesting to show how the tools are combined with other approaches.

 Hi George Agafonov & Alois, excuse me for this late response; have been travelling these days... Are you still experiencing this problem? A pessimist view would relate it to windows 8! If there is anyone who has been using Syntactic on windows 8 please let us know. 

If you say everything is up to date and you are sure you've unblocked the GHA in the components folder then I don't know what might be the problem. Could you ask David's opinion on this problem?

Comment by George Agafonov on August 4, 2015 at 2:04am
Hello. I also have a problem with installing. Gha file unlocked and moved to gh library. But it's still not appeared in components.
Same as Alois's image when open tutorial.

I´m using Rhino5 + latest Grasshopper version+windows 8.1

Thanks in advance.
Comment by Amir Soltani on July 31, 2015 at 4:11am

Did you right-click on the syntactic.gha and UNLOCK it in Windows after install. Sometimes that is the problem, all the plug-ins that are manually drag and dropped in folders sometimes need unlocking. However, Syntactic I think has a installer that should works straight away.
