method of analysing the spatial formation and architectural space intensity within any architectural organization.
Fuzzy architectural spatial analysis is used in
architecture
Architecture is the art and technique of designing and building, as distinguished from the skills associated with construction. It is both the process and the product of sketching, conceiving, planning, designing, and construction, constructi ...

Overview
Fuzzy architectural spatial analysis was developed by
Burcin Cem Arabacioglu (2010) from the architectural theories of
space syntax and
visibility graph analysis
In architecture, visibility graph analysis (VGA) is a method of analysing the inter-visibility connections within buildings or urban networks. Visibility graph analysis was developed from the architectural theory of space syntax by Turner et al ...

Fuzzy logic is a form of many-valued logic in which the truth value of variables may be any real number between 0 and 1. It is employed to handle the concept of partial truth, where the truth value may range between completely true and completely ...
within any architectural space. Fuzzy architectural spatial analysis model analyses the space by considering the perceivable architectural element by their boundary and stress characteristics and intensity properties. The method is capable of taking all
sensorial factors into account during analyses in conformably with the
