Description/Abstract:

This paper identifies a potential re-alignment of current discussion of movement analysis systems. A novel model for interpreting architectural space and occupant behaviour is outlined; derived from an appreciation of understandings embedded in the ancient device-symbol-path of the labyrinth. Experimental evidence is provided to illustrate how distinct spatial movements relate to dialogues between desire-sets in an ecological system; and it is suggested that labyrinth types arose to depict and accommodate this understanding. Finally, an interactive installation is described as a framework for future research in this vein.
