Space Syntax

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:

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.

    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?
