Description

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:

    hello Fahad, 

    Can you please explain what you mean by a linear sequence of nodes? Are you referring to a map or graph drawing or grasshopper nodes?

    Hi Fahad, 

    Thanks for your kind words! I honestly don't see any problem with either of the pictures and don't understand what you mean by linearly. I can suggest to carefully redraw a constellation of points and lines (simple lines, not curves) and then select the whole bunch of points separately and feed them into the points input of the NodeGraph component and then select the whole bunch of lines and feed them into the lines input (for that it might be handy to use an empty curve container). I hope this helps.

    Hi Evereyone, If you want to see our current works take a look at this paper published in Nature Scientific Reports and our website; ideas for open-sourcing SYNTACTIC and extensions are always welcome:
