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.

Evaluating Spatial Configurations as to their [Adaptive] Reuse Potential

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, we are going to release the latest version of CONFIGURBANIST as a dll library (API) that can be accessed through C# and VB.NET components. In the meantime, I thought you could try and test the modules and provide suggestions. It comes with some goodies useful along with SYNTACTIC tools, such as Spectral Graph Drawing and Matrix Plots. Simple connectors are also provided for SYNTACTIC and SpiderWeb. This new toolkit is in some ways fundamentally different from the version you have been using so far. For more info please check my dissertation: 

http://abe.tudelft.nl/index.php/faculty-architecture/issue/archive

if you don't have the time to read this, check this one out:

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/303944600_Spectral_Modelli...

If you want to try this version you need to install two libraries in your Grasshopper/Special Folders/Components Folder

* Math.NET (MathNet.Numerics.dll): http://www.mathdotnet.com/

* Configraphics_CS.dll (the library to be completed by me)

Please note that because this package uses Math.NET their licencing terms apply as well as those of mine. Please read the Read-Me panel in the file.

If you want to write a C#/VB snippet to do something in connection to this package we'd be happy to help you with that (as much as the schedules and other things allow us) and eventually involve you as a developer in the next versions. 

Our vision for the next versions is to connect/integrate this package with SYNTACTIC and SpiderWeb. 

I will replace some of the groups with better/newer modules in the coming days. Stay tuned.

I don't understand what I see (yet), but I like it. 

Comment by Pirouz Nourian on November 14, 2016 at 8:19am

and here are two more features from the same tool:

Great news, glad to hear that.

working on a new set of tools for adjacency tables. will release them one by one:

Hi Salma, I'm currently busy with my defense planned for next Friday and cannot work on the files; however, I do not see why you should expect a positive correlation between local and global integration in every situation? Where does this rule come from? In Space Syntax literature, if there is such a positive correlation people consider the configuration to be illegible. That is all I can recall about this. Could you please elaborate?

Comment by salma samir elesawy on September 21, 2016 at 3:16pm

Hello, dear Pirouz
I have used SYNTATIC in an analysis of an urban area and I have  common miss measurements that the relationship between local and global integration is negative correlation and logically, it must be positive. I have attached the. GH and. 3dm files. I hope you help me to fix this error. thank you in advance

@Pranav: you can check the example files included in the installed file. Note that the NEWS graph can only work on a certain class of graphs that are called 3 connected. These graphs cannot be torn apart unless at least three links of them are cut. 

Comment by Pranav on August 28, 2016 at 6:07am

can anyone please upload a working gh script with NEWS vertices and dual graph??? i couldnt link them properly..it states error evrytym

Thank you a lot, I'm waiting the 3d plug-in
