My intent with movement notation was to try and find an alternative way of representing human behaviour in space and or providing a tool to aid observers with their observations.
I wanted the notation to include both pedestrian movement and the space itself so what you end up with is an 'alternative' map of a particular space eg. South Bank Centre.
Having researched spatial configuration and looked at pedestrian movement I can see this might not be possible. If I notate space/void, then there is no movement or is there?
If I notate pedestrians, what behaviour am I notating?...walking?...sitting?
What I found so fasinating about Space Syntax was the movement patterns, the patterns created by humans through space.
I'm just brainstorming here...maybe I could notate movement patterns, but then again aren't the patterns already graphic representations of human movement?
