SPATIAL ANALYSIS SOFTWARE

Researchers at the Space Syntax Laboratory (www.spacesyntax.org), Space Syntax Limited (www.spacesyntax.com) and UCL’s Virtual Reality Centre (www.vr.ucl.ac.uk) continue to pioneer new generations of computer software for the configurational analysis of space at all scales of the built environment.

All software is available for academic use only, but provided free of charge. Interested researchers must register and submit evidence of academic affiliation. The verification process may take up to 3 weeks depending on the accuracy of the details provided.

There are currently three software packages available:

Confeego This package contains a number of new tools created by Space Syntax Limited for use in its research and consulting projects. Included in the current release are tools for computing integration and point depth on a variety of ‘spatial objects’, such as axial lines or convex space regions.Integration can also be calculated for the junctions where such spatial objects intersect. There is also a tool for doing statistical exploration of geographic data in conjunction with the statistical package JMP. The package is a plug-in for the MapInfo GIS platform (version 6.5 or later) running on Windows PC systems. More details

UCL Depthmap UCL Depthmap is primarily a computer program to perform visibility analysis of architectural and urban systems. In addition, the most recent version of UCL Depthmap includes the original visibility analysis, generation and analysis of axial maps as well as segment analysis, and finally agent-based analysis. Depthmap is a standalone application that runs on Windows 2000 and XP, but also functions on 95/98/NT. More details

Macintosh Bundle This package contains the classic space syntax standalone applications for Macintosh. These include Axman, OrangeBox, Pesh, SpaceBox, NetBox, and NewWave, as well as Ovation and TalkBack, which allow users to import data from and export it to GIS applications. The Classic Bundle hasn't been developed since 1998 and as such only runs on Mac OS Classic environment and Mac OS 9 or earlier. It is not compatible with the new Intel Mac machines. More details
