When one enters a space, perceives the material geometry of that space. Walking inside buildings or across the city is generating a geometry of moving bodies that fills the space. These two geometries coexist: a static geometry of the space and an invisible one of the moving bodies. The space that we actually experience, whether interior or exterior, is a continuous network of voids. Individuals' movement will fill the network of voids that we understand as "the city". Our environment of voids and borders is organized by the means of architecture and urbanism. The geometry generated by motion affects both the limits and the voids, thus space can be defined by the tandem of the moving bodies and their environment. We propose in this study a mean of investigating users' movement and thus understanding the qualities of space while introducing the concept of space scores as analytical maps and design tools.

With the development of media and computer, Motion Capture system, recently used in the entertainment and computer graphics, is emerging as a new recording method. Motion Capture is a system that records time-varying position of sensors which are attached to a objects and translates it to 3-D coordinate on computer. The motion of object displays the time-varying positions of each sensors that are graphed, or the line connected man-shaped model's movements on the computer monitor. And by adding computer graphic character to it, the various angled images, which are difficult to be perceived on the stage, can be easily recorded. Recently in Japan, Motion Capture system is being actively studied in order to use it in recording and preserving the intangible cultural assets of dance and art. Especially, Warabiza in Tazawako art village at Akita plays the leading role in this area through the project to symbolize and establish the archive of cultural dance, further, Ritsumeikan Univ. is develops the system for coupling the motion capture system to Labanotation. This article introduces the motion capture and it's related studies in Japan, which are being actively studied as a new recording method of intangible cultural assets.
