SPACE SYNTAX LIMITED

Company description

Space Syntax provides creative expertise in data-driven architecture & urban planning. Combining global design experience with powerful digital technologies, we help shape policies, planning strategies & design proposals that benefit people, property & the environment. We provide creative urban planning and building design expertise in five key areas: 1. Architecture & urban planning We design places that work for people and enhance the environments around them, from individual buildings to entirely new cities. Our use of data and predictive computing sets us apart in a field that too often relies on guesswork. 2. Consulting We deliver expert planning and design advice at all stages of development, from investment appraisal to operational performance. Our focus on people and place helps inform design strategies. The evidence we produce supports planning processes and influences decision-takers. 3. Training We train individuals and organisations in the use of our science-based and human-focused approach through face-to-face classroom teaching as well as the Space Syntax Online Training Platform, an open access learning environment. 4. Research We investigate the questions raised by practice as part of a process of continuous service improvement. We undertake extensive in-house research, we partner with likeminded organisations and we act as industrial sponsors of independent, academic activities. 5. Digital development We write algorithms and create software-based tools to analyse the performance of buildings and urban places.
