depth space 3d tool
about
The workshop aims to help proficiency use of an IT tool in the area of 'space syntax'. Students will gain advanced training in the use of the tool, witch is open academic use. The course aims not only the operation of the computer application, but also its use - that is, an interpretation of the areas under study, by the results obtained, and from various perspectives: cognitive psychology of spaces, physical accessibility, sociological features, etc.
​
programme
​
The workshop of 8h includes the following topics:
• Brief introduction to 'space syntaxes'.
• Resolution of a case study (a building or an urban environment) using the software tool 'DepthSpace3D'.
In these case studies will be carried out operations:
• creating and editing case of geometries to study;
• processing and adequacy calculation in varying degrees of abstraction conception of space - volumes (in the case of DeptSpace3D), plants, axial maps, graphs;
• calculation of the various quantified concepts of 'space syntaxes'
• interpretation of the results, in order to deepen the understanding of the built environment that case studies express.
