Space Syntax is a science-based, human-focused brand that specializes in investigating the relationships between spatial layout and various social, economic, and environmental phenomena. With over 40 years of pioneering work at The Bartlett, University College London, by Prof Bill Hillier and Prof Julienne Hanson, Space Syntax has become a widely used and developed approach in numerous universities, educational institutions, and professional practices worldwide. Built on quantitative analysis and geospatial computer technology, Space Syntax offers a comprehensive set of theories and methods for analyzing spatial configurations at all scales.

Through their research, Space Syntax has shown how movement patterns, security, city evolution, spatial segregation, and building design all intersect with spatial layout. In addition to architecture, Space Syntax has expanded into various research areas and practical applications including archaeology, criminology, urban geography, and cognitive science. With a focus on knowledge exchange and co-creation, Space Syntax not only provides planning and design principles, but also stimulates innovation, benefiting our buildings and cities.
