Quoting Stuart Reeves <[log in to unmask]>:
> Hello,
>
> I've just joined the list so I hope it's not rude to post without a good
> amount of lurking first :)
>
> As part of my PhD work I've been looking at the flow of people in places
> like galleries, museums and other kinds of public or semi-public spaces.
> I'm interested in how designers approach designing for and managing that
> flow through technological, physical and social means. A couple of simple
> examples. In a theme park much thought goes into the arrangement of rides,
> visitors' paths through them, queueing, etc. In museums, interactive
> devices can impact visitor flow through the way that those devices
> establish a relationship with the local environment, particularly in
> generating spaces of interference from the use of sensor devices, etc.
>
> I've had a look at William H. Whyte's work on the study of flow (and other
> things) in city plazas, streets and the like, however I've had only a
> little bit of a look at some space syntax stuff. Thus I'm interested to
> know of any space syntax-related publications people here might know
> of/have authored which may have particular relevance in understanding the
> flow of people through public and semi-pubic spaces as well as the
> management of that flow through a variety of means (as mentioned before,
> technological, social and so on).
>
> Hope that my request is relatively clear... Any help much appreciated.
>
> Thanks.
