War toll beim DGNet Kongress dabei gewesen zu sein - nochmal danke @stegbauer für die nette Einladung

Thoroughly enjoyed myself at the DGNet conference in Bayreuth presenting my work on social and spatial networks

For all the German speakers in my network: my research on spatial layouts and communication has been featured in a lovely and detailed article in the weekly German newspaper Die Zeit discussing the manifold relations between architecture and social outcomes, ranging from political coalition negotiations to the mutiny on the Bounty, from team meetings in offices to places for living

Architektur: Wie Architekten Gespräche lenken – und Macht verteilen

Gute Architektur verbindet Menschen, schlechte trennt sie. Wer die Gesetze des Bauens kennt, kann Politiker zusammenbringen – und sogar den Lauf der Geschichte verändern.

I've reviewed the book 'Architecture and Spatial Culture' by John Peponis for Buildings & Cities.

"a remarkable marriage of the subjective and the objective, of the personal and the scientific, of everyday life and extraordinary pieces of #architecture, of imaginative design considerations and the rigorous yet abstract foundations of #SpaceSyntax. It is to be hoped that Architecture and Spatial Culture will be read widely"

Architecture and Spatial Culture

By John Peponis. Routledge, 2024, ISBN: 978‑1‑032‑50042‑3

Buildings and Cities

One of the main favourite quotes from John Peponis book on 'Spatial Cultures':

"Space Syntax allows us to think of space as already social and already functional before we engage the specific programmes of building types." (p. 134)

Another shout out to the amazing book John Peponis has written on 'Spatial Cultures' - highly recommended read for everyone interested in how and why the composition and structure of the built environment matters to how we situate ourselves in the world, how we relate to things and other people, and thus how we behave

Architecture and Spatial Culture

Built space supports our daily habits and our membership of communities, organizations, institutions, or social formations. Architecture and Spatial Culture argues that architecture matters because it makes the settings of our life intelligible, so that we can sustain or creatively transform them. As technological and social innovations allow us to overcome spatial constraints to communication, cooperation, and exchange, so the architecture of embodied experience reflects independent cultural ch
