Course Description
This course presents architectural space as a social, cultural and configurational artefact. Main interest is on morphological studies in architecture, among these approaches, it is mainly on Space Syntax. In the scope of the course Space Syntax is investigated in terms of its theoretical background and its concepts and measurements developed for spatial analyses. The course treats architectural design as a discovery process, clarifies the idea of network thinking in architecture and explores how scientific data can be transferred to design as a creative, informative tool and investigates the potentials of using scientific, graph-theory based tools like Space Syntax, as a generative tool in architectural design.
