City Induction Evaluation Module
Integrating spatial analysis in the parametric urban design process Jorge Gil, Space Syntax, UK
Abstract The “City Induction” research project aims to develop an urban design framework at the scale of site planning consisting of three modules: formulation, generation and evaluation. The evaluation module will be driven by sustainable urban development principles, which determine the design analysis criteria and benchmarks, and it will be structured around selected urban spatial analysis, of which space syntax is key reference, and parametric design methodologies. We discuss the challenges of bringing the analytical and design domains together, setting criteria for the implementation of the evaluation module as an interactive design support tool.
