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.

Hi, All components are ready. We are just wrapping all our VB codes into a GHA.

thank u pirouz

Comment by Pirouz Nourian on October 7, 2013 at 7:26am: Hi all,

All components are ready. We are preparing an example file and a short video. I hope we can do all this in a couple of hours/days :).

Comment by Petar Pejic on October 7, 2013 at 2:56am: Hi, any news on release date? It would be nice if you could include for example a sample video like you did your other plug in, I find it very useful.

Comment by Elbert Choquehuanca on October 4, 2013 at 9:19pm: expected wing

Comment by Pirouz Nourian on September 30, 2013 at 6:06am: We are planning to release a test version by the end of this week.

Comment by Petar Pejic on September 22, 2013 at 8:49am: Any news on the release date?

Comment by Daniel Hambleton on August 14, 2013 at 10:46am: Great group! I've been quite interested in this topic for some time.

Although not directly GH related, I'm developing a Gibsonian crowd simulation engine - you can check out the alpha version here. Would be great to exchange some ideas!

Comment by djordje on August 14, 2013 at 3:53am: Very interesting Pirouz,
Hope you will post some example files too.

Comment by Pirouz Nourian on August 14, 2013 at 3:14am: Hello Richard,

In fact I have learned a lot from your plugin and your teachings online (a formal acknowledgement will follow :)). The first time I started to do something with graphs in GH I noticed the output of the proximity component, which is exactly a datatree indicating the indices of the connected nodes. It was a wise choice to use the same format for the graphs. So, it is perfectly compatible with Spiderweb; and it is part of the plan to introduce these in connection with Spiderweb. I have checked the decoding space components, but I had difficulties connecting to their technical approach as they are using a different data type for graphs, which is not readable from outside.

Comment by Richard Schaffranek on August 14, 2013 at 1:51am: Hallo,

Nice to see more people engaging with graphs and space syntax in Grasshopper. Did you know of http://www.decodingspaces.de/ ?

What kind of data is the Graph structure, is it compatible to SpiderWeb?

Richard
