Isovist based Spatial Classifications
by Sam
The work previously described here can now be applied to isolate 360 degree isovists in contiguous space. Doing so provides four distinct spatial classes of isovist. Below we use the Soane Museum to outline these types. ‘Accessible’ space: when all walls used to define isovists are considered as solid and impermeable to vision, the isovists describe only that space which is directly accessible and can be walked into. This allows us to examine complex networks of circulation in an architectural […]
Stochastic Isovist Fields
by Sam
When isovist analysis is applied to a plan in its totality (rather than to individual locations of special interest), one issue to be resolved by appropriate convention is the identification of “all points” from which isovists will be drawn. The nature of space is such that the actual number of possible points is infinite. In conventional approaches (such as UCL’s ‘Depthmap’ programme), an square tessellation of samples is adopted. Such a method establishes ‘all points’ as having a uniform and […]

Digital Agents: Agent-Maze Dialogues
by Sam
Study of an autonomous spatial agent progressing through a real-time reconfiguring maze-matrix. Agent behaviours changed in response to modulation of individual spatial ‘desires’ and the ‘discovered’ or observed changing environment. Dependent on variation and combination of desire sets, different movement typologies can be categorised; these have a direct relation back to ancient labyrinth form elements. An emergent, emotive root for the occupation and understanding of spatialities is implied.

ArcAngel Dolphins
by Sam
These were recorded on a week’s sail from Falmouth in Cornwall to Milford Haven, Wales, via the Isles of Scilly, Padstow and Lundy. We were sailing northward about 5 miles off Lundy Island, spinnaker up under a southerly wind and making about 10 knots. A pod of about twenty dolphins came from all around and lined up to play on our bow wave for fifteen minutes or so. Five grown men were reduced to excited little boys. The minute we […]
