Configurbanist: Easiest paths, fuzzy accessibility, and network centrality for walking and cycling in cities

In a quest for promoting sustainable modes of mobility, we have revisited how feasible and suitable is it for people to walk or cycle to their destinations in a neighbourhood. We propose a few accessibility measures based on an 'Easiest Path' algorithm that provides also actual temporal distance between locations. This algorithm finds paths that...

Generative syntax in architecture and urban design

There are a few theories that describe and explain the role of spatial arrangement on the social interactions of people in built environments, best known of which is called Space Syntax. The term syntax, taken from linguistics, here refers to the [spatial] structure of the whole, as opposed to morphology, which looks at the qualities of...
