教育目標

This lecture provides students with a parametric analytical tool to study several environmental phenomena and behaviour patterns observed in the existing context. The main goals of this lecture are to introduce the profound digital tool of Space Syntax developed by Bill Hillier to our senior or master level students to allow them to explore the research theme mentioned above. Through this lecture it is possible to urge students to re-examine established spatial theories, such as Defensible Space by Oscar Newman, etc., and to tease out a proper cutting-edge ideology for practical references in the fields of architectural domestic design or urban spatial configuration studies or design. Problems solving based and scientific research and design exhibit the key philosophy of this digital tool per se. This English lecture consists of four parts. The fundamental theory of Space Syntax will be introduced firstly, then quantificational process and software (Depthmap) training will follow. At the third stage, application of the Space Syntax tool on the studies of environmental phenomena and cognitive behaviour patterns and their correlations to spatial configuration will be illustrated via several distinctive research dissertations often cited in the Space Syntax community. Finally, the exploration of creative thinking on architectural and urban design from the adaptation of Space Syntax parametric models with other generative parametric tools, such as Grasshopper, will be further introduced to those who are keen to acquire some advanced knowledge on spatial forms and skins in relation to users behaviour patterns.

課程概述

This English lecture focuses on professional analytical technique training through the Space Syntax Approach, which differs from the existing real materials tectonic creation and instead asserts the important aspects of immaterial spatial architecture bearing with unique features of void space tectonic exploration. The strength of this methodology either in research issues or in the creative design research area relies on the fact that it can interpret qualitative elements through quantitative representations with evidence based scientific knowledge. It does cope with the departmental training goals of ability of in depth research on spatial problems and creative way of solution assessing by deploying digital and parametric tools in the architectural and urban design fields.
