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:

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.

Comment by Azad Hadji K on October 19, 2014 at 9:49pm: Hi Pirouz,

I am going to analyse an urban space with Space Syntax add-on. I imported the line from openstreetmap. They are not lines they are curves, is it makes any issue? Secondly, when I use axial line graph (ALG) component, the add-on gives me a numbers top of some lines(not all of them) which does not make sense. Finaally, would you please guide me how I can get some graphical outcome of this add-on? Generally speaking, Is there any way to get some sense of how this add-on works? I do appreciate your help mate. Thank you

Regards,

Azad

Comment by Pirouz Nourian on October 13, 2014 at 3:04pm: There is a minor bug in the new release (for London workshop). Just need a couple of free hours and I will release a better version. This version includes all the tools you previously shown in videos including layout with cardinal directions.

Comment by Pirouz Nourian on September 18, 2014 at 10:06am: new versions of SYNTACTIC and Spider Web are going to be tested in this workshop in London, together with my friend Richard Schaffranek:

Comment by Rafat Ahmed on September 4, 2014 at 5:25am: Its Brilliant plugin bro, easy to use, functional & clear visual Analysis, we appreciate you works much.

and just a wish for this plugin, that need more flexibility for large scale & complex projects, bcz when i use it, i found it hard to manipulated.

Comment by Pirouz Nourian on September 4, 2014 at 12:51am: Hi Rafat, Thanks for your kind message. Pleased to hear that you have found the tools useful. It is still a work in progress though; far from something I could consider as great :). Best wishes

Comment by Pirouz Nourian on September 4, 2014 at 12:49am: Hi Sarah and Fateme,

It is somewhat strange, but in any case we will release a new version soon, hopefully with this problem solved. Have spotted a line in our code that might have caused the confusion for some systems.

Our plan is to release until September 18.

Comment by sarah Ceravolo on September 3, 2014 at 4:21pm: Hello Pirouz and Fateme,

Thank you both for your responses,

I have had the same result with my rhino 5, sorry that I can not help solve it I just would not know where to start...

Comment by Fateme Jafari on September 3, 2014 at 3:31pm: Hi Pirouz

I checked my Rhino as you said. It shows that my Rhino is up-to-date but the problem still exists. What should I do?
