Abstract
Music and dance center intends to showcase world-class exhibitions and performances using advanced musical technology and innovation to people. This study reviews the space syntax of Studio Bell in Canada, emphasizing the permeability level and wayfinding to study the spatial configurations in depth. This research also studies the spatial connections established between public spaces and administration areas. The overall space syntax findings are analyzed using the alphanumeric system, the Likert Scale, and the justified graph. The findings are interpreted and tabulated in the table for a clearer understanding. The result shows that approximately 51.9 % of the building spaces are semi-private and average in wayfinding due to the limited access for paid visitors to the exhibitions and performance halls. The multiple-way route connects the visitors from a central node space to the branching space, leading visitors to experience a series of exhibitions and performances. The study concludes that public and private spaces are differentiated through the level of permeability and wayfinding. The design can be enhanced by appropriately allocating directional signage to the users. Overall, the building is a satisfactory design with well-zoned.
