configraphics

Configragpics is an emblematic name for "graph theoretical methods for design and analysis of spatial configurations"; that is the title of my PhD dissertation.

The dissertation is available as pdf below: https://books.bk.tudelft.nl/index.php/press/catalog/book/546

I have partially published the tools introduced in my PhD in two separate packages: SYNTACTIC & CONFIGURBANIST. The idea is to put the two together in one package (Configraphix, WIP) for design and analysis at various scales of built environments.

Here, I will (hopefully) soon share the whole library of computational methods to be used in analysis and synthesis of architectural and urban configurations. It will contain an independent version of the methods already published in SYNTACTIC and CONFIGURBANIST, plus a number of new methods. This library can be used as an API for developing new tools for configuration-oriented design.
