Using Spatial Analysis in an Evidence Informed Approach to Community Engagement in Design
… and evidence informed design approaches of Space Syntax in the UK. Urban design is a set of complex relationships between all the elements of built and unbuilt space in cities. It is imperative that the design processes address these complex socio-spatial relations that govern its form. …

Centers all the way down: a study of centrality in the modern city
… in the modern city. Using measures of built space for different types of activity in Atlanta, we will map the distribution of activity in the city; then we will derive the system of centers distributed throughout the city. This system of centers will be sorted into scales, from global to …
