loftslagsgreiningu
Loftslagsgreiningu, or "space syntax analysis," is a theoretical and methodological framework within architecture, urban design, and spatial science that examines the relationships between physical space and human behavior. Developed primarily by architectural theorist Bill Hillier and his colleagues, this approach emphasizes the study of how spatial configurations influence movement, perception, and social interaction. The method is rooted in the idea that the geometry of built environments shapes the flow of human activity, often referred to as "social geometry."
At its core, loftslagsgreiningu relies on the concept of "space syntax," which breaks down architectural and
The theory has applications in urban planning, architectural design, and historical analysis. In urban planning, it
Critics of loftslagsgreiningu argue that it oversimplifies complex social dynamics by focusing primarily on physical form.
