VISUAL GRAPH ANALYSIS (SPACE SYNTAX)

The simulation was employed to analyze the potential impacts of pedestrian movement and visual elements on the surrounding area of the proposed site. This approach aims to identify potential activity zones and strategic points that can be utilized to enhance and maximize benefits for both pedestrians and the site. The flow of the simulation has been arranged as below:
1. Simulation On Site Potential
2. Simulation On Existing Road
3. Simulation On Existing Pedestrian Road
4. Simulation On Public Realm Movement
5. Simulation On Design Approach Form Configuration
