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

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 ...

testing the application of space syntax method in the design of traditional urban spaces

the complexity of today’s subject matter of urban design is to the extent that no urban designer may be able to consider all relevant issues and their interactive impacts simultaneously, and thereby make appropriate decisions. application of computer techniques has made the analysis of complex issues in urban design possible. this has been a great help for urban designers. space syntax method i...

Description the Design with Nature in Bio-Architecture and urban design

The relation between nature and human considers different periods. At first it was bio-utilization which degrades the value of nature as a source of energy and material. After revolution in science development and attention to the damages which they made to environment, they tried to change their look to this issue and expand the mean of relation between human and nature. Birth of such word l...

New urbanism approach and urban space in mega cities

New Urbanism design principles have been adopted for many urban planning efforts in recent years. The purpose of this paper is studding the structure and space of Shahid Beheshti Square as one of the most important and old squares of Tabriz from the view of new urbanism principals. In order to reaching this purpose the data were collected through a questionnaire distributed among peoples that a...

Crime Prevention in Urban Design: towards Space Syntax Approach as a Quantitative Analytic Modeling of Qualitative Issue of Security (Based on Spatial Configuration)

Urban texture and space syntax: some inconsistencies

This paper reports on a number of inconsistencies that appear in space syntaxöa well-known technique of urban analysisöwhen dealing with certain geometrical configurations. At a simple level, the analysis of regularly gridded urban textures (such as Manhattan's) reveals the difficulty of accepting the claim that space syntax allows the modelling of pedestrian choice making. In more complex case...
