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:

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.

Comment by Pirouz Nourian on November 11, 2016 at 7:38am: working on a new set of tools for adjacency tables. will release them one by one:

Comment by Pirouz Nourian on September 23, 2016 at 10:26am: 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

Comment by Pirouz Nourian on September 19, 2016 at 3:05am: @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

Comment by Pirouz Nourian on June 13, 2016 at 4:22am: Dear Shayan,

Thanks for your kind words; and apologies for responding late. Happy to hear that you find the tools useful in practice. Regrading the licensing, we have been thinking of changing the license towards a more-open one. For the time being, I can write to your email and grant permission free of charge to use the tools, on the condition that 'some' results are shown to public with attribution to the toolkit, including on this platform. You can send me an email on p.nourian@tudelft.nl

Comment by Shayan Kavakeb on June 10, 2016 at 1:45am: Dear Pirouz,

First, I would like to thank you for developing this tool, I find it very useful and well developed. I am currently working at UK AECOM and involved in various projects related to urban space. I believe this tool is under the following licence: Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported Li.... Thus, we cannot use it for commercial purposes.

I wonder can we discuss on how we can use this tool for commercial purposes at AECOM?

Best regards,

Shayan
