Fuzzy boundaries are defined as the area boundaries arising from the way space is structured internally and how this relates to the external structure of space, and so maintaining inter-accessibility between the areas.

[[Category:Space Syntax]]

Entropy in DepthMap is a measure of the distribution of locations of spaces in terms of their depth from a space rather than the depth itself. If many locations are close to a space, the depth from that space is asymmetric, and the entropy is low. If the depth is more evenly distributed, the entropy is higher. This measure is able to express culturally significant topological differences among spatial layouts. For the mathematical definition, see Hillier, B. et al (1987) pp. 365; Turner, A. (2001) pp.8.

This ‘design paradigm’ adopts three linked principles, namely enclosure, repetition and hierarchy, to generate a layout, in particular for public housing. The small scale localised enclosures, each one supposedly corresponding to a small and identifiable community, are seen as the primary element of new housing area, and are organised in a repetitive way to create the enclosure of enclosures, or cluster of clusters, to build local communities at the higher level.

Embeddedness measures the degree to which a space is spatially embedded into the contexts with increasing radius. It is defined as the rate of change in node count, based on either axial or segment representations. It seeks to investigate how the spatial structure of a city is organised at different scales, varying from connecting one street with its immediately surrounding streets to aggregating all the streets into a well-structured city as a whole.

The dis-urban space arises from a poorly structured local configuration of space as a consequence of which the main elements of the movement economy are lost. It is intended to convey the reverse of the spatial qualities commonly referred to in cities, namely to: the breaking of the relation between buildings and public spaces; the breaking of the relation between scales of movement; and the breaking of the interface between inhabitant and stranger.

[[Category:Space Syntax]]

Descriptive retrieval, arising from what happens in the real world independent of the cognition or actions of the agents of the process, exists at two levels: at the local level of putting parts into a whole, the abstraction retrieved is at the same scale as the events that make up the process; at the upper level of the whole gestalt, it is at a higher level than the individual events that make the form, and somehow co-ordinates all of these separate actions into a single scheme. It is this higher order co-ordination that we can think of as a kind of synchronisation, since over and above the consistency in the local rule which put the system together there is a clear ‘all at once’ quality to how we read the system overall.

[[Category:Space Syntax]]

A deformed wheel is a semi-grid, or hub, of lines near the centre: strong integrators which link this semi-grid to the edges, like spokes, and some edge lines are also integrated, forming a spatial rim. This structure is usually the main public space structure, while less integrated residential areas form in the interstices of the ‘wheel spokes’ (the streets connecting the centre to the edge.

[[Category:Space Syntax]]

D-value is the RA value for the root – the space at the bottom of a justified map – of a diamond-shaped pattern. This has nothing to do with geometric shape. It simply means a justified map in which there are k spaces at mean depth level, k/2 at one level above and below, k/4 at two levels above and below, and so on until there is one space at the shallowest (the root) and deepest points.

A d-type space is one with more than two links and which forms part of systems which contain neither a- nor b-type spaces, and which therefore must contain at least two rings which have at least one space in common. Such a space must lie on more than one ring.

[[Category:Space Syntax]]

Convex analysis is a way of analysing a spatial layout represented by a convex map. The convex spaces can be transformed into a diagram in which convex spaces are represented by points and relations between them by lines joining points. To make a convex adjacency graph, simply place a circle inside each convex space, then join these circles by lines whenever the convex spaces share a face or part of a face (but not when they only share a vertex).

[[Category:Space Syntax]]

Convex space breakup indicates a process of decomposing the continuous structure of open space into separate convex spaces. Simply find the largest convex space and draw it in, then the next largest, and so on until all the space is accounted for. If visual distinctions are difficult, then the convex spaces may be defined in two stages: first, by using a circle template to find where the largest circles can be drawn in the structure of open space, and second, by expanding each circle to be as large as a space as possible without breaking the convexity rule and without reducing the fatness (approximating a square) of any other space.
