Abstract
This chapter introduces three Space Syntax techniques – axial line analysis, convex space analysis, and visibility graph analysis (VGA). Conventional applications of the axial line technique typically range from domestic buildings to urban environments, providing a quantitative understanding of spatial configurations. Convex space analysis is typically used to capture relationships between human behaviour and the built environment, and VGA is used to reveal human spatial perceptions and responses in a specific built environment. This chapter provides a brief explanation of each technique before reviewing recent trends and developments in Space Syntax research. Two case studies are presented in the chapter to demonstrate axial line analysis and VGA for four urban neighbourhoods in Seoul (South Korea) and architectural plans for four aged care developments, two in Australia and two in South Korea.
