  Abstract
  This paper discusses the science-based and human-focused approach of space syntax analysis with its levels of permeability and wayfinding to explain how the spatial layout of specific building typology influences the ways people use them. This research objective is to relate spatial configuration to its building typology, which in this case is a broadcast media centre, using space syntax analysis by the case study. Broadcast centres are stations that include radio, television and other electronic media outlets whose primary objective is to transmit information and entertainment news to the public. Space syntax is defined as a technique of describing and analyzing the relationship between spaces of urban areas and buildings (Jacoby, 2006). This research approaches by studying the layout plans of building with labelling spaces in alphanumeric and tabulated in a measurable scale graph figure that shows its level of permeability and wayfinding. In conclusion, the degree of permeability and wayfinding for broadcast media centres are more involved in wayfinding and less permeable for public users and staffs due to security purposes. Hence, designing the best layout for this building typology is vital as a guideline.
