Dis-urban space (Space Syntax)

From Design Computation
Jump to: navigation, search


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.
