ON THE GENERATION OF LINEAR REPRESENTATIONS OF SPATIAL CONFIGURATION

It has been shown that, with space syntax, spatial configuration can b e described as a set of lines covering all the areas of a layout and a ll the ways of moving around the one-dimensional and two-dimensional b oundaries that it comprises. In this paper we propose alternative form al definitions of linear representations of spatial configuration and the ways in which they can be generated. The significance of these rep resentations is discussed briefly.
