Online Training Platform

The Space Syntax Online Training Platform introduces the fundamentals of space syntax theory and provides a unified training resource for researchers and practitioners.

The site is structured in five sections:

1. Overview

2. Applying space syntax

3. Software & tutorials

4. Glossary

5. Contact

The Online Training Platform has been co-created by the Space Syntax Laboratory at The Bartlett, University College London and Space Syntax Limited. The two organisations have worked together on the academic development and commercial application of space syntax for over 30 years.

Alan Penn "Who enjoys shopping in IKEA?"

Professor Alan Penn describes the way that architects use space to sell you things, showing how space creates patterns of movement, bringing you into contact with goods. In IKEA though, the story gets more interesting, here the designers deliberately set out to confuse you, drawing you into buying things that are not on your shopping list.
