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:

Syntactic Design Methodology

For more information, videos, news and updates you can visit the following website.

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.

Comment by Pirouz Nourian on October 18, 2017 at 3:30am: Hi Sz_tju, for calculating connectivity you can connect a mass addition component to the graph (whether from axial lines/cells/nodes). Connectivity is the number of neighbors of a node in a graph and in graph theory it is called the degree of a node. For intelligibility, you can calculate the correlation between node degrees (connectivity values) and the global integration, see: http://otp.spacesyntax.net/term/axial-intelligibility/. At the moment you can do this with a bit of math expressions/scripting. I will add a piece of code for that.

Best regards,

Pirouz

Comment by Sz_tju on October 18, 2017 at 2:15am: Hi Pirouz,

Except the difference factor, control analysis, choice analysis, integration analysis, entropy analysis, I want know whether the plugin can calculate the value of connectivity and intelligibility.

Best regards,

Sz_tju

The presentation is indeed private (no access)! Not sure if that was intended :)

Comment by Sz_tju on October 16, 2017 at 2:55am: Hi Pirouz,

Thank you for your SYNTACTIC tool, I am using it to make the axial analysis. And now I have a problem. If I have a city plan or building plan to make the axial analysis for it, I want to know how to use grasshopper to generate the axis graph first?

Comment by Karlo54 on October 3, 2017 at 2:21am: Thank you very much for your permission. I will definitely indicate your software and credits to you once i prepare a presentation to top management on the use of this plugin. will post on this forum any progress i have made. Thank you again if you allow me to add additional tools.

Comment by Pirouz Nourian on October 1, 2017 at 5:38am: BTW, if you wish to have additional tools currently missing in the toolkit you can send me a mail p.nourian@tudelft.nl

Comment by Pirouz Nourian on October 1, 2017 at 5:36am: Hi Karlo, Thanks for your message. Yes you are free to use the tools for commercial purposes. The only condition is to mention the software in your publications or cite our papers and kindly post some results here on the forum.

Comment by Karlo54 on September 27, 2017 at 12:37am: Hi Pirouz,

I am working for construction company under design department, i would like to ask if its allowed to install and use your plugin together with galapagos to study space planning ideas? e.g. study possibility of building core planning iterations. Thank you.
