Studies by Eloy and Guerreiro take this approach. SS is then used to identify degrees of privacy and connectivity (e.g., a room with a dead end or circulating access). As their rule computes, the iteration generates house design and topological descriptions. The SS graph is used to describe the topological description. As seen in the study by Heitor, Duarte, and Pinto on the SS and SG combination, the shape rules are described with a symbolic description, such as that of the house’s site condition (context), required functions (typology), morphology, connection/adjacency (topology), and costs. Shape and graph combinations in SS and SG have been approached on different grounds. It is not as opaque as probabilistic modelling or too explicit, as in calculus modelling. Compared with other generative design methods outlined in, the rule-based method offers design-friendly algorithms which are explicit enough for design analysis and synthesis. Nevertheless, graph calculation, such as graph grammar and graph rewriting, as developed in, has been increasingly integrated with SG for the defining of design languages. found that most SG studies since 1985 were focused on the floor-plan generation and primarily on residential cases, such as vernacular houses and apartments. SG analyses and synthesises the shapes and spatial relationships in design with the use of rules (e.g., transformation, substitution, and subdivision rules). In architecture, SS application involves assessing the evolution of the functional relationship of a building type and mapping the users’ movement and interaction within their corresponding spaces. SS explains a spatial relationship with a graph to measure the quality of space according to its relationship (e.g., space adjacency, connectivity, and depth of hierarchy). The two methods use different types of representation, which complement each other in this research. This study incorporates the representation techniques used in space syntax (SS) and shape grammar (SG) to map the sequences of functions and their relationships in building spaces. The investigation is presented with diagrammatic plans and corresponds to the ideation process during these stages. The research outputs are applicable for functional and spatial analysis and synthesis at the early design stage, namely the predesign stage and feasibility study. Based on this logic, this study then investigates how a function transforms, to what degree a function determines a space, and how a space adapts to functions in two cases: hospitality and retail. The study starts by reviewing foundational studies on functional analysis and spatial transformation, evaluating the compatibility between methods, and formulating a set of logics to analyse how function and space evolve and adapt. The method outlined in this paper aims to map functional development in conjunction with the spatial arrangement. Based on this observation, this study maintains that functional configuration needs to be developed simultaneously with spatial articulation in building design, and, to pair them effectively, it is necessary to understand the logic of how a function develops. A lack of functional adaptation can make a building space obsolete, especially if it hosts virtualisable or portable elements. The above example illustrates how a spatial configuration in a building can be vulnerable to functional evolution.
