Focusing on the multimodal analysis of spatial texts within the built environment, this book introduces a comprehensive framework known as Spatial Discourse Analysis (SpDA). It delves into the intricacies of how three-dimensional spaces communicate meaning, emphasizing the interplay between various modes of representation and their impact on spatial understanding. Through this holistic approach, the work aims to enhance the study of architecture and urban design by examining the narratives embedded in physical spaces.
