This is the first book on Space Syntax that provides a gentle introduction to the set of geometrical techniques that enable us to describe spaces and movement patterns in cities in ways that show us their relative importance in generating good design. Akkelies van Nes and Claudia Yamu have done a magnificent job in grounding the theory in the wider field of urban studies, making it accessible to a broad audience. A key work in the urban designer’s tool kit of methods.
The book serves useful as supporting teaching material for master courses. It provides important contribution to spatial analysis literature on the built environment, and offers a basic introduction for scientific grounded methods in analyzing urban space linked to elementary theory of science.
