Abstract

Aiming to better understanding of workspaces design and its link to users’ behavior inside these spaces, this thesis focused on the relation of workspace spatial aspects and the communication process between the employees. Despite there are a lot of studies addressed improving the design of office workspaces, but there are no rigor results that could be implemented to improve the communication aspects of the users. The thesis reviewed the previous literature in depth then followed with the applied field study. Three office building in Cairo have been examined. Spatial factors i.e. (proximity, accessibility, visibility, and enclosure) have been investigated to find their relation to communication factors
i.e. (tools, rates, privacy, distraction, and network). Space syntax analysis has been conducted in addition to Social Network Analysis and statistical analysis. Many essential results have been found, so the study suggested design implications from the findings. Additionally the study recommended important topics for the future research.
