On Tuesday, April 15, 2025, the Master of Urban Design Program at Universitas Gadjah Mada invited Widi Cahya Yudhanta, S.T., M.Sc. as a guest lecturer for the Urban Design Methods course. The lecture was held offline in Lecture Room 1, 3rd Floor, and was mandatory for first-semester students of the even-year 2024 intake. During the session, Widi Cahya introduced the use of Space Syntax in architecture and urban design. Space Syntax is a set of analytical techniques used to study spatial layouts and human activity patterns within buildings and urban areas. In the fields of architecture and urban design, Space Syntax serves as a tool to identify systems, patterns, and spatial structures.
Widi Cahya explained the theoretical foundations of Space Syntax, presented case examples of its application, and provided an introductory demonstration of how to operate Space Syntax software.
