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://sites.google.com/site/pirouznourian/syntactic-design.

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 Andrea, the latest release, available on my website includes an example file. The link is above (under the logo). I know it has compatibility issues with Rhino 6 and that it may only work with Rhino 5. We are working on these issues.

Hope this helps.

Can you please upload an example file of the last version of Syntactic?
Ps: on which version of Rhino does it run better?

Thanks

Hi Dēmiurgos, I guess you want to change the graph drawing style. Right? If it is only color of the nodes, you can provide alternative colors to the List of Lists (LOL) component. Changing the style of drawing is more complicated. Which graph drawing tool is it that you want to change?

Comment by Dēmiurgos on February 28, 2019 at 11:08pm: Pirouz. Hello.

Just wondering if there is a way to edit graph attributes like text size, colour, etc.

I'm using the LOL component, but I can't find a concrete way to do it.

Thnank you for your answer.

Comment by Pirouz Nourian on February 21, 2019 at 10:32am: Hi shimaa elsayed, the last working version (which might only work on Rhino 5) is available on my website: https://sites.google.com/site/pirouznourian/syntactic-design?authus... (download button at the bottom of the page).

At this moment we are working on a much delayed new release but due to my bust academic schedule I cannot promise a release date. I might gradually post here some components as user objects.

Comment by 周伟杰 on January 14, 2019 at 1:59am: Your research is very helpful

Comment by Dēmiurgos on January 12, 2019 at 9:15pm: I found a little script that my help me in baking the graphs from the component "GraphsfromNodesAndLinks". This is already great and very helpful.

Is there a way to bake the other output graphs?

Thank you
