L03 – Choice measurement, Visibility in Space Syntax: Isovist and Isovist Fields

Slides : Choice measurement, Visibility in Space Syntax: Isovist and Isovist Fields

Exercise:

  • Continue working with the street network you already have or choose your own neighbourhood you know well. Measure and try to identify local centres within selected parts of a network (using the Segment analysis component from the Decoding Spaces toolset). Try to intrepret the results, compare them with your own experiences.
  • Choose the neighbourhood you know, bring a couple of photographs of your prefered space in the city (from a pedestrian’s point of view).
  • Make the Isovist and Isovist Field analysis of your choosen neighbourhood (using Decoding Spaces Components or standard Grasshopper components) and interpret the results. Compare them with the photographs or your own experience. Keep in mind real scenarios (real measures), it will help you to better interpret the results.

 

Video Tutorials can help you to setup the definitions:

Isovist analysis – standard Grasshopper components

Isovist Field analysis 01 – preparing the grid – standard Grasshopper components

Isovist Field analysis 02 – Isovist Area, Perimeter, Occlusivity – standard Grasshopper components

 

using DecodingSpaces add-on:

Segment analysis (Choice)

Isovist analysis – individual point

Isovist Field analysis
