Space Syntax
Abstract
The Space syntax emerged in mid 1980s both as a theory of spatial and social systems and method that allows the research of these phenomena offering an understanding of the built environment and social processes. The term refers to the space as a system of syntactic relations, and syntax as a set of rules that determines the way certain elements are composed. It was conceived by Bill Hillier, Julienne Hanson, and members of The Bartlett, University College London. The method is used to decode functionality and structure of the space and to analyze real situations, aiming to answer questions on how and why societies create different spatial organizations / patterns. It enables comparative analysis of buildings and settlements across both space and time, and hence it can be valuable for understanding and demystifying complex layers of historical morphology important for urban design decisions. In education, it offers an evidence-based approach and foundation of the analytical thinking. S...pace syntax method has been used for research in architecture, urban design, urban planning, transport, while recenly it becomes relevant as well to archaeology, information technology, urban and human geography, and anthropology.
