Ideas are in Things: An Application of the Space Syntax Method to Discovering House Genotypes

B Hillier, J Hanson and H Graham

Environment and Planning B, 1987, vol. 14, issue 4, 363-385

Abstract: Simple ‘space syntax’ techniques are used to explore the problem of spatially typing a sample of vernacular farmhouses in Normandy. It is suggested that such techniques can demonstrate that cultural ideas are objectively present in artefacts as much as they are subjectively present in minds.
