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...

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 lig...

the theory of natural movement was developed by hillier and hanson at 1984 and investigates the relation between social and spatial forms. hillier believes that space is the key aspect of how social and cultural worlds are made in the real world. hillier claims that social and spatial forms follow such a consistent pattern that spatial configuration determines social patterns such as land-use a...

Culture and social relations play a significant role in the formation of the structure of vernacular housing of any region, especially in the Islamic countries where privacy has a considerable effect on the vernacular culture, and consequently, on the house’s structure. Among the house spaces, the kitchen is more affected than other spaces by such issues so that its relations pattern with other...

While space syntax analysis has been widely applied to archaeological sites (including Pompeii), it is fundamentally limited by its isolation within the social sciences and omission of decoration from human cognition movement structures. At same time, phenomenology in archaeology typically arisen physical experiences a number professional archaeologists landscape, with little interest digital e...

I. Different environments, different models How can we formally model a built environment and capture the fundamental properties relevant to its inhabitants? Space syntax provides a set of rigorously defined techniques for describing spatial configurations like building interiors and urban squares—it appears to be a natural approach to use. Yet whether you chose to use an axial map, a visibilit...

We demonstrate that random walks embed connected undirected graphs into Euclidean space, in which distances and angles acquire the clear statistical interpretation. Being defined on the spatial network of Venetian canals, random walks afford a portrait of the city space syntax and measure its intelligibility. In the present Letter, we investigate the spatial network of 96 canals in Venice (that...
