Corus Triathlon Infrastructure
by Sam
Animation of design proposals for a finish arch for UK Triathlon’s elite series hosting in Hyde Park, London. A series of folded steel barriers form the transition zones where athletes switch from swim to bike to running; before rising up to a triumphal finish and timing archway. Notions of the body as a wrapped form informed the folding geometries of the steel plates, which were provided to reflect Corus’ sponsorship of the event. Completed with Surface Architects.

Axial Line Definitions
by Sam
Here we demonstrate an isovist based approach to definition of the axial lines of a space. The algorithm identifies the primary and secondary longest axial lines of each isovist in real-time. These are used to define a pair of median 2d centric points: Movement towards either of the median points causes following of the general axiality of the space as perceived at that location. Further sets of exploratory movements based on this approach are demonstrated here.

Spatial fields in Hypothetical Layouts
by Sam
The below diagrams are a taxonomic series in which we apply the methods described here to a series of hypothetical geometric layouts. Interpretation of these results is ongoing and discursive annotations will be added in due course. The mappings above were produced using a methodology established in the context of a research project on Dynamic Three Dimensional Space Syntax Modelling directed by Sophia Psarra at UCL. The project was supported by the UCL Space Group EPSRC platform grant EP/G02619X/1 (P7726).

Realtime & Reflective Isovist Agents
by Sam
Typical spectral graph results from the methods shown in the below films can be viewed here. A complete re-write of the realtime isovist agents code into c++ has facilitated more complex isovist modelling and realtime analysis extracts. An updated version of the previously demonstrated movement within and perception of real plan space in realtime is shown above; below follow illustrations of new capabilities. As a secondary level, transparent barriers to movement can now be modelled and isovists related to vision […]
