Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Social science
  • Artificial intelligence
  • Law

Bill Hillier focuses on Space syntax, Architecture, Artificial intelligence, Space and Grid. The concepts of his Space syntax study are interwoven with issues in Sample and Theoretical computer science. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Urban planning, Civil engineering, Architectural engineering and Operations research.

As part of one scientific family, Bill Hillier deals mainly with the area of Artificial intelligence, narrowing it down to issues related to the Graph, and often Metric. Particularly relevant to Visibility graph analysis is his body of work in Space. His study in Visibility graph analysis is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Algorithm and Isovist.

His most cited work include:

  • The Social Logic of Space (2413 citations)
  • Space is the machine (857 citations)
  • Space is the Machine: A Configurational Theory of Architecture (849 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary areas of study are Space syntax, Space, Architecture, Library science and World Wide Web. His Space syntax study incorporates themes from Data science, Metric and Artificial intelligence. His Metric research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Grid, Locality, Urban studies and Distance measures.

Bill Hillier has researched Space in several fields, including Argument, Human science, Structure, Cognitive science and Syntax. The various areas that he examines in his Architecture study include Meaning, Architectural engineering and Operations research. Bill Hillier interconnects Urban planning and Civil engineering in the investigation of issues within Urbanism.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Space syntax (32.08%)
  • Space (28.93%)
  • Architecture (19.50%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2007-2019)?

  • Space syntax (32.08%)
  • Space (28.93%)
  • Location theory (3.77%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Bill Hillier mainly focuses on Space syntax, Space, Location theory, Economic geography and Cartography. He incorporates Space syntax and Spatial ecology in his research. His Space research incorporates elements of Mathematics education, Structure, Translation, Set and Acknowledgement.

Bill Hillier combines subjects such as Econometrics, Regional science and Spatial design with his study of Location theory. His Economic geography study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Variance, Natural language, Urban form and Operations research. Bill Hillier works mostly in the field of Data science, limiting it down to topics relating to Socio spatial and, in certain cases, World Wide Web.

Between 2007 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Space and spatiality: what the built environment needs from social theory (82 citations)
  • Spatial sustainability in cities: organic patterns and sustainable forms (70 citations)
  • Metric and topo-geometric properties of urban street networks: some convergences, divergences and new results (61 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Social science
  • Law
  • Artificial intelligence

Bill Hillier mostly deals with Space syntax, Space, Location theory, Centrality and Metric. Bill Hillier has included themes like Theoretical computer science, Economic geography and Artificial intelligence in his Space syntax study. As part of the same scientific family, Bill Hillier usually focuses on Economic geography, concentrating on Operations research and intersecting with Set.

Bill Hillier integrates Space and Work in his research. His Location theory research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cartography and Econometrics. His work carried out in the field of Metric brings together such families of science as Urban studies, Field and Combinatorics.
