Space Syntax: Some Inconsistencies [PDF]

open access: possibleEnvironment and Planning B: Planning and Design, 2004
This paper reports on a number of inconsistencies that appear in space syntax—a well-known technique of urban analysis—when dealing with certain geometrical configurations. At a simple level, the analysis of regularly gridded urban textures (such as Manhattan's) reveals the difficulty of accepting the claim that space syntax allows the modelling of ...

Space Syntax

Environment and Behavior, 2003
The purpose of this article is to provide a background to the analytical techniques and related terminology used commonly in space syntax studies. The basic premises of space syntax are presented, its methodological procedures described, and certain key terms defined.

Space syntax in a wayfinding task

Cognitive Processing, 2006
This research aims to deepen the relationship between environmental characteristics and wayfinding behaviours, by comparing, throughout a wayfinding task, typical transport models parameters, such as distance, and space syntax analysis parameters, such as the number of the streets.

Space Syntax Methodology

2020
Space syntax sets out from the premise that the spatial layout or organization of buildings and settlements can be studied meaningfully and systematically, typically in a comparative manner, through their simplified representation as topological networks. This means that the constituent spatial entities, e.g.

‘What is space syntax not?’ Reflections on space syntax as sociospatial theory

URBAN DESIGN International, 2015
Few approaches have been quite so polemical and have stirred quite so many different responses as space syntax. This article is not an introduction to space syntax; rather it aims to discuss its substantive reach and epistemological status. To this end I make use of one of the simplest – though not necessarily the best or easiest – ways of ...

Space syntax and the Dutch city

Environment and Planning B: Planning and Design, 1999
Space syntax, as developed at the Bartlett, University College London, proposes a fundamental relationship between the configuration of space in a city and the way that it functions.

Space Syntax Methodology Review

2016
Space syntax is a street network method, which was developed in the 1970s at the University of London as a way to quantify urban morphology features and recorded movement and interaction within cities and buildings. In the book The Social Logic of Space (Hillier and Hanson 1984), they firstly argued that spatial layout or structure has a great impact ...

Space Syntax And Spatial Cognition

Environment and Behavior, 2003
Space syntax research has found that spatial configuration alone explains a substantial proportion of the variance between aggregate human movement rates in different locations in both urban and building interior space. Although it seems possible to explain how people move on the basis of these analyses, the question of why they move this way has ...
