Dear Colleagues,
I am glad to have the honour to address this wonderful scientific
community dealing with space syntax theory. It really is like
a wonder that one day searching the web I had found several sites
supported by space syntax team. That is actually what I was thinking
about when I planned to start my scientific research in landscape
architecture. And what is really important therein is that here in
Russia I couldn't find any reference on russian research referring
space syntax in any of architecture and town planning publications nor
in landscape design publications. And it is all more strange that
space syntax is based on open publications, software and active
information exchange around all interested parts. And jiscmail is the
best the best confirmation of it.
Several days ago I have received information about CASA meeting
“Advances in Spatial Analysis & e-Social Science”. Unfortunately I
have no possibility to take part in the meeting but, like a kind of
feedback, I would like to use this opportunity and invite all who
will be interested to the conference "Contemporary landscape design:
new approaches and dimensions". And what kind of contemporary
landscape design can be discussed when there is no any mention of
space syntax. It looks like it would be very considerable for all
russian landscape architecture community to get to know about space
syntax. There are leading universities where landscape architecture is
being studied invited to the conference, therefore space syntax could
be presented to russian landscape education. I would think, there will
be possibilities to start collaboration projects in educational area.
You can be sure that my university have a strong intention to develop
international contacts, and there will be no serious difficulties on
this field.
We will appreciate everyone who is familiar with Space syntax,
student, professor. The deadline for abstract acceptance was 22.
February, but because of importance of space syntax presence, we can
move the deadline for space syntax researcher. From purely technical
point of view it will be good to prepare the abstracts during next
week. Additional info you can find on our site: www.icon-la.org, files
of the conference are available on our shared google docs folder at:

I am member of the Organising Committee of the conference and can
officially arrange and comment all the questions concerning
participation, visit details and so on.
You can free contact me via my private e-mail, if it is appropriate for you.
I look forward for any feedback, questions or comments.
