Thesis (Ph.D.)--Georgia Institute of Technology, 1998.

This thesis deals with the problems of description and construction in configurational studies of building plans, consistent with the viewpoint of a situated observer (i.e., an observer who is located and moving inside the plans). These problems constitute the first two levels of a possible three-level theory of configuration. The third level, which would deal with the problems of meaning and interpretation, remains outside the scope of this thesis.

520 $a This thesis deals with the problems of description and construction in configurational studies of building plans, consistent with the viewpoint of a situated observer (i.e., an observer who is located and moving inside the plans). These problems constitute the first two levels of a possible three-level theory of configuration. The third level, which would deal with the problems of meaning and interpretation, remains outside the scope of this thesis.
520 $a Reference to the "situated observer" in this thesis does not imply that questions of cognition or perception are directly addressed, either in theory or in the consideration of data. Rather, the fundamental relational premises used in the analysis are, in principle, available to perception, and more complex relational descriptions are developed from these premises in a manner which is logically consistent to the way in which a situated observer may construct an abstract understanding of plans according to a bottom-up synthesis of perceivable relationships.
520 $a A review of literature demonstrates the importance of the viewpoint of a situated observer in architectural description and in configurational studies. However, several fundamental questions regarding the configurational analysis of building plans are yet to be resolved, or even addressed systematically. In recent years, "space syntax", a configurational theory of architectural space, deals with some of the issues relevant to the viewpoint of the situated observer. The thesis proposes a more comprehensive framework of configurational studies of plans, which complements "space syntax" by providing several approaches and techniques to define and quantify properties which have previously eluded explicit formulation.
520 $a The thesis uses these approaches and techniques to characterize plans of three different intuitive types---cellular, deformed, and free plan, which have served as a useful shorthand in the literature. It is argued that each of these intuitive types possesses a configurational integrity, and is consequently useful in its own right in plan typology. However, these types, though normally sustaining significantly different properties, cannot be clearly defined with respect to all the properties that are open to analytic description. In addition, these heuristic types are not exhaustive of the classification space of plans. They encompass only a part of all logically possible plans.
