3D Space Syntax Analysis

Space Syntax are a set of methods in use in Architecture for over 30 years. As it requires a large amount of calculations, it needed to be treated by ICT tools. So far, only 2D analysis was currently available.
The workshop will give proficiency in the use of DepthSpace3D, a 3D Space Syntax analysis software, free for academic use. This digital tool increases the range of possibilities concerning 3D Space Syntax analysis.
3D analysis seems to bring better results in rough topography of the urban spaces; dynamic volumetric geometry: size, configuration, elevation and interpenetration; joint analysis of the interior of each building and its urban environment, in particular when there are high-rise buildings.
3D Space Syntax analysis may also be a powerful tool in formalizing the classical theoretical and aesthetical concepts of space in landscape architecture.
The participants will produce small 3D models of buildings and public spaces, analyse them with space syntax 3D software e understand the uses of the outcomes of the analysis.
The tutors will bring to the workshop:
The participants are expected to:
