Inpatient unit visibility, space use, and social networks of communication Open
Care team communication is fundamental to most healthcare environments, but the dynamic ways that care team workers use space complicate knowing how to best design for communication in hospital spaces. This comparative case study of two in…

The role of strategic visibility in shaping wayfinding behavior in multilevel buildings Open
In this paper, we explore the mutual effect of prior background expectations and visibility afforded by the 3D configuration of the physical environment on wayfinding efficiency and strategy in multilevel buildings. We perform new analyses…

The challenges of hybrid work: an architectural sociology perspective Open
An unwanted experiment of prolonged periods of working away from the office was forced on many societies by the COVID-19 pandemic. In the three years since the COVID outbreak, many organisations have shifted to hybrid work practices by mix…

Spatial opportunity structures for resilient social networks: the role of architectural and urban form Open
In this chapter we bring together research from the domains of social networks, resilience and spatial morphology to argue that the built environment is an often overlooked but increasingly recognised vector influencing the formation of ti…

Routine action networks: An architectural study of spatial layouts and performativity in outpatient clinics Open
Social network analysis offers powerful ways to investigate personal relationships, however, to date little work has explored the more routinized, impersonal work processes present in bureaucratic organizations. Asking whether network anal…

Space Syntax Theory Open
The theory of space syntax provides a way to formalise the connection between spatial configuration and human behaviour. While originally developed for urban space it has been harnessed for the study of workplaces, providing evidence on ho…

Differential perceptions of teamwork, focused work and perceived productivity as an effect of desk characteristics within a workplace layout Open
The impact of the physical workplace on behaviors and attitudes at work is a much-studied topic. Major research streams over the last decades investigated either satisfaction with offices in relation to physical comfort, or how layout deci…

Correspondence and Non-Correspondence:Using office accommodation to calculate an organisation's propensity for new ideas Open
Correspondence or non-correspondence is one of the early space syntax concepts, originally proposed by Hillier and Hanson in 1984 in ‘The Social Logic of Space’. Describing the overlap between spatial and transpatial solidarities, Hillier …
