Introduction
Working with public, private and community organisations, we apply a range of science-based, digital modelling tools to the process of architectural design and urban planning, taking a principled, human-focused approach. From strategic spatial models that provide a rapid, robust picture of mobility and location hierarchy, to micro-simulations and Integrated Urban Models that use AI techniques to explore social, economic and environmental datasets, our objective is the creation of thriving life in buildings and urban places. In doing so, we help people see, in clear and straightforward terms, how space can be designed to optimise its human and natural performance.
Through a longitudinal programme of internal research and international academic collaboration, we continuously develop our digital technologies and design methods.
In parallel with project-based applications, we disseminate the Space Syntax Approach by providing training that is tailored to client needs, ranging from short CPD sessions to multi-year programmes.
The Space Syntax approach adds value to projects in three key ways:
1. Revealing unseen opportunities & creating better ideas
2. Measuring & improving the likelihood of success
3. Facilitating communication on project teams & with stakeholders.
Our science-based, human-focused approach unites what professional disciplines often divide. We join multi-disciplinary teams, acting as a bridge between planning, design, transport and other disciplines. Space Syntax is expert, independent and respected for the support we provide to public, private and community-based decision takers.

Training course_Interconnected places
A non-technical, self-guided training course on the Space Syntax approach. Learn how systems thinking and spatial network analysis can explain how cities work. For city leaders, policymakers, architects and urban planners to gain new insights into how street networks influence everyday activities: mobility, interaction, collaboration and trade.
Introduction to Space Syntax
Testimonials
I know that these techniques work from the tough environment of practice. I love the world of analysis, observation, of research, but also passion, imprecision, the hunch. Space Syntax is the testing of the interaction of these opposing worlds.
The perspective you brought to our campus masterplanning exercise was invaluable. Space Syntax is the best thing we’ve come upon in a long time.
