What a pleasure to speak with @FranciscaOrtiz for the 'Knitting Networks' podcast and chat about my research into spatial and social networks.

The podcast provides amazing features of scholars investigating social networks and is a joy to listen to - so many fantastic colleagues talking about their work!

Welcome to Mastodon @ChrystalaPsathiti and @urban_formation - lovely to see the #SpaceSyntax community growing.

Note: when mentioning @spacesyntax that toot will be boosted by the account and thus spread to everyone following it

New blog post: I've reviewed the book 'Connect the Dots. The Art and Science of Creating Good Luck', written by Christian Busch and have included my take on how the book in my mind connects with #SpaceSyntax and #SocialNetworkAnalysis

The new 0.4.11 release of #topologicpy added Vertex.InterpolateValue. This allows it to derive the value of a vertex based on a weighted average of the n nearest vertices from an input list of other vertices. This can help speedup #spacesyntax, daylight calculations or, when combined with Topology.ReplaceVertices, in creating a terrain model from a few spot elevations.

The jupyter notebook has been published to github at: https://github.com/wassimj/topologicpy/tree/main/notebooks

The 14th #spaceSyntax Symposium well be held in Cyprus (and hybrid), 24-27 June 2024. Abstracts are due in September 2023.
A fully online PhD conference is held in addition in June this year. Abstracts due March 27th.

@spacesyntax I also miss people and groups active on the bird site on here such as SURGE
https://6263a90671c29.site123.me/
And of course more of my #spaceSyntax community

Just read a lovely paper exploring plantation (roças) design and reuse in São Tomé and Principe using @spacesyntax methods
Would love to see more applications of #spaceSyntax in the global south

I’ve recently moved to a new department in a different building. The change in spatial layout and resulting feelings of belonging, experience of hierarchy, and opportunities for social interaction and collaboration are striking. (Something for @kerstinsailer) #spatial #space #interaction #spacesyntax #architecture #building #behaviour #social #office #academia 1/3

Segment maps are a little more complicated, as they have connections between all the lines ending up at each intersection @spacesyntax #spacesyntax

Playing around with displaying a street network graph on the map itself.

Highly recommended exhibition at @LdnMetArchives@twitter.com: Magnificent Maps of London, running till 11 Apr 2022 - 29 Mar 2023 http://cityoflondon.gov.uk/events/magnificent-maps-of-london.

Do try and get onto one of the tours: the #SpaceSyntax Lab recently had a brilliant time learning more about London's map history.

Likewise, on the #urban scale, the location of a #CareHome impacts opportunities for mobility and ways of engaging in city life for elderly people but also chances of meeting others and being visited - we investigate access to points of interest as well as centrality of location for all 149 care homes in #Nanjing #China using #SpaceSyntax analysis methods.

@sociology

A little sneak preview to some of the ideas in the chapter - we interpret architectural layout and intervisibility between beds in #CareHomes in #China as a foundation for tie formation and thus different potential forms of sociability that might emerge

Great to see the #SpaceSyntax community slowly trickling in. Welcome @jbh and 👋 @kimonkrenz @urban_stevie

Let's do some magic and get our lovely group bot to work. Mention @spacesyntax in your toot and it will be boosted to everyone who follows it

@kerstinsailer this is so cool. I’ve heard of #spacesyntax in context of urban design but not for floor plans (but that should have been an obvious application). We do grid based analysis in cove.tool so I’ll have to check this out!

@pchopson thanks! It's a #visibilityGraph of a building using #SpaceSyntax. Shows how many 'visual turns' (looking around the corner) you need to see all spaces from a certain vantage point. Red to blue = short to long paths.
See here for a longer explanation including the actual example I've used (which is #Hogwarts castle - part of my #HarryPotter geekery).

Hello sciences.social - here's my #introduction #introductions

I'm a professor in the Sociology of Architecture at the Bartlett School of Architecture at UCL.

I'm researching the relationship between buildings and people with an interest in #architecture #spatialdesign and #evidenceBasedDesign. My main expertise is in office buildings, hospitals and schools.
I use both #qualitative and #quantitative methods focusing on #spacesyntax and #SocialNetworkAnalysis
