This book provides an extended exploration of the multimodal
analysis of spatial (three-dimensional) texts of the built
environment, culminating in a holistic approach termed Spatial
Discourse Analysis (SpDA). Based on existing frameworks of
multimodal analysis, this book applies, adapts, and extends these
frameworks to spatial texts. The authors argue that choices in
spatial design create meanings about what we perceive and how we
can or should behave within spatial texts, influence how we feel in
and about those spaces, and enable these texts to function as
coherent wholes. Importantly, a spatial text, once built, is also a
resource which is then used, and an essential aspect of
understanding these texts is to consider what users themselves
contribute to the meaning potential of these texts. The book takes
the metafunctional approach familiar from Systemic-Functional
Linguistics (SFL) and foregrounds each metafunction in turn
(textual, interpersonal, experiential, and logical), in relation to
the detailed analysis of a particular spatial text.
