Simulation Methods

We explore current simulation methods, including spatial, environmental, management, and movement behavior tools. Building on this foundation, we are developing open-source software for simulation—not to replace existing tools, but to enable us to transform our own ideas into code and experiment with different possibilities. This approach allows us to explore and innovate beyond the limitations of current software.

Space_Syntax (Hayyiz): Open Source

This open-source implementation of space syntax analysis (axial/segment) offers user-friendly functions that can be easily customized and modified to include new experimental features, with minimal coding expertise required. Use DXF files to experiment. The code supports the following analyses for both Integration and Choice [GitHub]:

  1. Axial analysis

  2. Segment analysis, including angular and normalized analysis

  3. Depth analysis (giving a metric distance from an axial line(s); the outcome is a polygon with the routes that can reach within the given radius)

  4. Additional experimental analyses will be introduced in a few months.
