On Convex Space: Example of an Indoor Ski Center

Abstract

This study, which examines the relationship between spaces within indoor ski centers, aims to investigate the effectiveness of spatial syntax in spatial organization. The study utilized spatial syntax as a qualitative research method. The floor plans of indoor ski centers were evaluated in two dimensions using a program called DepthmapX, which generated representation maps, enabling access to spatial data from these maps. The aim of this study is to emphasize the necessity of classifying spaces within indoor ski centers that exhibit different features in their layout arrangements. The findings and criticisms obtained from this study also serve as recommendations for researchers and designers. The study evaluated the relationship between the organization of space and the shell that determines the boundaries of the space from the perspective of space syntax. It also demonstrates that this method can be effectively used in the design of indoor ski centers. This method can be employed in future studies to meet user needs, circulation, and promote sustainability in the design of indoor ski centers.
