    Abstract
    Space syntax is a set of techniques to describe and analyze spatial configurations concerning human social activities which have been widely used by many researchers to understand and describe pedestrian movement. This paper analyses the building space planning based on the level of permeability and wayfinding through the different types of users for Tamarind Square, Cyberjaya, Malaysia. This research is conducted by using qualitative analysis with the graphic illustration of the justified graph. The study will be classified into four different levels of permeability. Results of the analysis showed that different blocks and different floor levels in Tamarind Square have different levels of depth of permeability and wayfinding for different types of users. This study also concludes that the degree of permeability and wayfinding in Tamarind Square has a moderately clear distinction between office and retail spaces, defining the spatial configuration when designing both spaces in a mixed-use building.
