INTRODUCTION
SPACE SYNTAX Space syntax is a set of techniques
for the analysis of spatial configurations of all kinds, especially
where spatial configuration seems to be a significant.htmect of human
affairs, as it is in buildings and cities. Originally conceived by
Professor Bill Hillier and his colleagues at The
Bartlett, UCL in the 1980s as a tool to help architects simulate
the likely effects of their designs, it has since grown to become a
tool used around the world in a variety of research and areas and design
applications. It has been extensively applied in the fields of architecture,
urban design, planning, transportation and interior design. Over the
past decade, space syntax techniques have also been used for research
in fields as diverse as archaeology, information technology, urban and
human geography, and anthropology. For a summary of current space syntax research see: 'The Common Language of Space' by Professor Bill Hillier. For a summary of recent space syntax consultancy see: 'Changing the Face of the World' by Phil Clark. SPACE SYNTAX LABORATORYEstablished in 1995, the Space Syntax
Laboratory hosts a wide range of space syntax activities including fundamental
academic research, masters, doctoral & post-doctoral studies. It
is the research arm of Space Syntax
Limited and is closely allied with research at the Virtual
Reality Centre for the Built Environment at the Bartlett. The Space Syntax Laboratory is located
at the Bartlett
School of Graduate Studies at University College London which is
the United Kingdom's leading academic centre for research into the built
environment. |
