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:

Comment by Pirouz Nourian on November 13, 2017 at 2:02pm: Hi Dmitri Korolenko,

Did you manage to get it running? Do you get any error messages? Please share the error messages (if any).

Comment by Pirouz Nourian on November 13, 2017 at 2:00pm: Hi Vyara Kuneva,

The exe file is an installer that puts the GHA file and the example files in a folder on your computer. While going through steps, after accepting the license terms, it will ask you for a folder location. If you don't specify, it chooses a default location. From the installed folder, you can then copy and paste or drag the GHA file onto your GH canvas. Please double check that the GHA file is not blocked.

I hope this helps.

Comment by Vyara Kuneva on November 13, 2017 at 9:27am: Hi Pirouz Nourian!

I am having difficulties installing Space Syntax. I have downloaded the zipped folder from here - https://sites.google.com/site/pirouznourian/syntactic-design, unblocked it and unzipped it, however in the unzipped folder there is only one .exe file and no .gha file. Do you know what the reason for that could be and how to install it?

Thank you!
