Evaluation Of Different Plan Types In Faculty Buildings By Space Syntax Method

The spatial organization of the plan types used in the faculty

buildings greatly affects the level of accessibility. In this context, it is

aimed to examine the accessibility of four faculty buildings with L, U,

complex and chaotic plan types. Within the scope of the study, space

syntax analysis was performed and the integration, connectivity and

mean depth parameters of the buildings were compared. With solutions such as increasing the number of interconnected blocks in buildings, breaking the linearity of corridors by branching, the integration

value and connectivity of spaces decreases and their depth increases.

This situation negatively affects accessibility. Solutions that make it

difficult to access places have negative effects on spatial perception

and user satisfaction, while reducing efficiency in education. For this

reason, it is recommended to develop new spatial analysis techniques

such as space syntax method in architectural design and to be included

in planning by designers.
