Abstract: In the 21st knowledge economy organizations must invest in and leverage their knowledge and intellectual capital assets. The circulation and sharing of knowledge and intellectual capital is critical to investment and value. While the literature discusses four categories of factors that influence knowledge sharing, one category has been neglected – the design of the physical-spatial environment. This program introduces participants to the practice of spatial syntax and provides a hands-on oppor-tunity for participants to map and assess the knowledge flows of their working environments. Session leaders will provide a Quick Reference Guide describing Hillier’s (Hillier et al, 1983) fourteen spatial metrics, and instructions for applying them. Session leaders will act as coaches in applying justified graph methods to determine how an architecture enables or impedes knowledge flows. The program will conclude with participants sharing their observations.
