Analysis and Research of Space Syntax in Urban Commercial Space: Taking the Bank of China Tower and Edificio Comercial Si Toi in Macau as Examples

Authors

Abstract

Space syntax is one of the important methods of city analysis and calculation. Based on the theory of space syntax, this research takes two important commercial and financial buildings of Bank of China Tower and Edificio Comercial Si Toi in Macau as examples to analyze their internal spatial structure and import Depthmap for calculation. Combining with related topological calculation methods, by analyzing the topological values of the overall integration degree, local integration degree, global depth and selectivity of the space, quantitatively explore the structure of the space, understand the relationship between the overall space and local space of commercial buildings, and discover the spatial structure And proposed corresponding optimization strategies to provide a reference for the future reconstruction of the typical commercial building space in Macau from the 1980s to the 1990s.
