Hi!
Alan,
The issues you have raised so far, point to a much broader picture than
Andew might have anticipated. I will again agree with your observations,
short of jumping the gun.
I will like to pick on the question of GIS you mentioned (in passing?). It
seems to me that the more options that are built into a model, the better it
could be in generationg desired outcomes. However, I think Space syntax and
GIS are bias to certain operating systems, which somehow restricts
integrated analysis. The only practical attempt to the best of my knowledge,
is CASA's VENUE project, that looked at the possibilities of generating
axial maps within AV GIS.
I have tried Axwoman in a number of cases and found some shortcomings,
compared to Axman. Is there any development in this direction so far?
I tried getting some insight from Dodge without success. Perhaps Jiang and
Sheep or anyone out there can provide some useful comments on this.
My perception is that a system that anchores these techniques within a
common platform or some reasonable crossover, can help in aportioning
options for VGA or AN and space syntax.
