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:

Comment by Dēmiurgos on February 28, 2019 at 11:08pm: Pirouz. Hello.

Just wondering if there is a way to edit graph attributes like text size, colour, etc.

I'm using the LOL component, but I can't find a concrete way to do it.

Thnank you for your answer.

Comment by Pirouz Nourian on February 21, 2019 at 10:32am: Hi shimaa elsayed, the last working version (which might only work on Rhino 5) is available on my website: https://sites.google.com/site/pirouznourian/syntactic-design?authus... (download button at the bottom of the page).

At this moment we are working on a much delayed new release but due to my bust academic schedule I cannot promise a release date. I might gradually post here some components as user objects.

Comment by 周伟杰 on January 14, 2019 at 1:59am: Your research is very helpful

Comment by Dēmiurgos on January 12, 2019 at 9:15pm: I found a little script that my help me in baking the graphs from the component "GraphsfromNodesAndLinks". This is already great and very helpful.

Is there a way to bake the other output graphs?

Thank you

Comment by Dēmiurgos on January 12, 2019 at 8:38pm: Hello, Pirouz

How can I bake the graphs? I don't know if this question has already been made.

Thank you for your time and effort

Comment by Leen Hiasat on January 10, 2019 at 7:23am: Hello Nourian,

I'm having a problem with the tool "DiskoGraph"

It sometimes gives me this error

"Solution exception: object reference not set to an instance of an object" and refuses to produce the graph.

What might be the problem please?

Thank you

Comment by Pirouz Nourian on December 10, 2018 at 4:47am: Hellow Yuki Wada ,

I checked your file and noticed there were quite a few errors caused by empty entries in your lists (I guess that is because I am opening your file in GH for Rhino 6 and that you have made it in GH for Rhino 5). Apart from that, I see that your graph is not 3-connected (has more than 3 vertices and remains connected after removing any 3 vertices). That is an issue. I saw at least one (Yodo r) node that is only connected to north and west. That is a breach of 3-connectivity. In your Tutte Diagram I also see that there are a few nodes connected to nowhere. That is also a serious problem with the graph drawings ahead.

Comment by Pirouz Nourian on December 10, 2018 at 1:48am: Hello Leen Hiasat,

thanks for your compliments. The error you are mentioning might be because the NEWS graph you are putting in is not 3-connected (has more than 3 vertices and remains connected after removing any 3 vertices), or because you are trying to find a triangulation that does not exist (referring to a high index).

The package released on Food4Rhino is indeed incomplete. We are working on it. Cannot promise an exact date but doing our best to release before the end of the year.

Comment by Pirouz Nourian on December 10, 2018 at 1:43am: Hello Maryam, we are working on an update for Rhino 6, ensuring compatibility with the new library. I cannot promise a new video anytime soon, but will be happy to answer short questions here.
