Presentation Transcript

  1. Spatial Structure of Environment and Behavior Joseph Peponis and Jean Wineman

  2. Space and Its Social Functions • Built space is a field of structured copresence, coawareness and encounter. • Does space structure influence behavior? • Generative function of Space • Reproductive Function of Space

  3. Generative Function of Space • Space with more accessibility has higher probability of being used for movement. • Three corollaries: • Natural movement • Virtual community • Economies in Spatial Systems

  4. Reproductive Function of Space • Space contributes to the reproduction of social schemas. • We can understand the spatial relationship between components of a space based on their labels.

  5. Space Syntax • Set of techniques and theories to examine spatial configurations • Three basic concept: • Depth • Integration • Choice

  6. Depth, Integration, Choice

  7. Space Layout • How can we interpret layouts as discrete patterns of relationship? • Axial map • Convex Map

  8. Axial Map

  9. Depthmap Software

  10. Spatial Configuration and Movement in Urban Areas • High Correlation between Integration and movement • Correlation is higher when the spatial structure fits the larger context. • In some studies, correlation between choice and movement was even higher.

  11. Patterns of Movement and Copresence in Buildings • Functions of spaces affect patterns of movement within it • Strong correlation between interaction and Integration in office environments • Syntactic analyses of buildings are more fragmented and speculative

  12. Spatial Exploration • Correlation between Integration and exploration path • A link between the way layouts function and how people can make sense of it, but needs further research

  13. Space and Design • Effect of spatial structure on behavior is indirect. They occur through positioning of actors rather than through the prescription of action. • Is built space reflective of the environment instead of altering it? • How much can a built space alter behavior?
