Aspects of the Theory of Syntax

The application and development of graph theory through the space syntax method: The implementation of analytical practical model in architecture

Abstract Over the last few decades, different mathematical methods have been used to design and analyze architectural spaces. Meanwhile, the graph theory provides an abstract model to study the spatial configuration, so that a simple and flexible mathematical framework is obtained to analyze the spatial topological features and their relationship with social and functional concepts in architec...

Studying Flexibility Factor in the Architecture of Khaneh-Hussainias Using Space Syntax Theory with Approach to Social Relations, Case Study: Amini, Razavi and Akhavizadegan Khaneh-Hussainia in Qazvin

Description Theory and Approach about Space Syntax Methodology in Urban Design Process

Nowadays space is considered to be a net of connections between different areas. The questions how to delineate its character and how it is possible to objectively compare two spaces is a matter under consideration. This was the reason for creating new theories about the structure of space. Space syntax analysis (SSA) or simply Space Syntax defines a number of theories and research areas devo...

Social Logic of Cities and Urban Tourism Accessibility; Space Syntax Analysis of Kuala Lumpur City Centre

Tourism is a progressively major part of economies of urban areas. Urban regeneration as a subcategory of urban tourism has been the center of many urban projects. This study addresses the role of space syntax theory as an analytical tool and design aided tool in urban regeneration. For this purpose, we examined the development of a square in the Kuala Lumpur City Center (KLCC) using space synt...

Deficiency of the Space Syntax method as an urban design tool in designing traditional urban space and the need for some supplementary methods

Urban design problems have become so complex that no single designer is able to consider all aspects of a design area simultaneously. Lately the application of computerized and scientific methods have helped designers analyze complex problems. One of these new methods is Space Syntax. The purpose of this study is to first investigate the strengths and weaknesses of this method and then suggest ...

Context-oriented Lighting Strategy in Urban Spaces (Using Space Syntax Method) Case study: Historical Fabric of Isfahan

Lighting plays a key role in night escapes of urban spaces, in a way that it can be effective in giving identity to them. By considering this importance and inexistence of a process for composing urban Lighting strategy made this study to be conducted by the objective of providing process for compilation of context-oriented lighting strategy in urban spaces. Reaching a suitable solution for Li...
