[[Category:Space Syntax]]
Grid intensification refers to the reduction of block size to reduce mean distance from all points to all others in a space network. It is typically found in city centres where commercial activity has grown to the extent it starts to spread around the block. (See: Centrality as a process).

Graph matching aims to detect how similar any pair of small, labelled, directed graphs are. It achieves this by calculating how many operations are needed to fully transform one graph into another.

Graph (Space Syntax)

Stephen Law:

[[Category:Space Syntax]]
Graph is a collection of points and lines connecting some subset of them. In space syntax, the points of a graph denote spaces (e.g. streets, rooms or corridors), and the lines represent intersection between pairs of the spaces.

[[Category:Space Syntax]]

Global-to-local logic is defined as a global formation which projects both a unified ideology and a unified politics over a specific territory; and the more it acts to realise this aim, then the more the exterior is dominated by a system of ideologically defined structures, and the more the interiors are dominated by controlled transactions.

[[Category:Space Syntax]]

Generic function is the first of the three ‘filters’ through which buildings are designed. The first, generic function, refers to the simple logic of the space: its design for the fact of occupation and the fact of movement. It imposes restraints on what is spatially viable, and this is responsible for what all buildings have in common as spatial design. (The second filter is cultural and the third is the individual properties of the building).

Generic City (Space Syntax)

2017-02-12T16:06:51Z

Stephen Law:

[[Category:Space Syntax]]

The generic city is a theoretical proposition that there is a universal city with many spatial and functional invariants across cultures. According to this theory (based on an extensive study of hundreds of cities and settlements ancient and modern around the world): all cities are comprised of a very small number of long lines and a very large number of short lines, and these constitute a dual system made up of foreground and background networks with different geometries: the foreground network, made up of longer lines and nearly straight connections and the background network, made up of shorter lines with more near right angle connections, and so more localised and with less linear continuity. Functionally, the foreground network takes a more or less universal form of a network of linked centres at different scales, and has emerged to maximise grid-induced movement, driven by micro-economic activity. The background network is largely residential, and is configured to restrain and structure movement in the image of a particular culture, and so tends to be culturally idiosyncratic, often expressed through a different geometry and this makes the city as a whole look spatially different.

Gamma map is defined as the graph representing the interior layout of a building as well as its external space in terms of permeability. Every interior space or subdivision of a space can be conceptualised as a point and represented as a circle, with its relations of permeability represented by lines linking it to others; the space outside is considered as a point, and represented as a circle with a cross.
