For all the German speakers in my network: my research on spatial layouts and communication has been featured in a lovely and detailed article in the weekly German newspaper Die Zeit discussing the manifold relations between architecture and social outcomes, ranging from political coalition negotiations to the mutiny on the Bounty, from team meetings in offices to places for living

I've reviewed the book 'Architecture and Spatial Culture' by John Peponis for Buildings & Cities.
"a remarkable marriage of the subjective and the objective, of the personal and the scientific, of everyday life and extraordinary pieces of #architecture, of imaginative design considerations and the rigorous yet abstract foundations of #SpaceSyntax. It is to be hoped that Architecture and Spatial Culture will be read widely"

One of the main favourite quotes from John Peponis book on 'Spatial Cultures':
"Space Syntax allows us to think of space as already social and already functional before we engage the specific programmes of building types." (p. 134)

Another shout out to the amazing book John Peponis has written on 'Spatial Cultures' - highly recommended read for everyone interested in how and why the composition and structure of the built environment matters to how we situate ourselves in the world, how we relate to things and other people, and thus how we behave

New publication by my friend and collaborator Prof Julie Zook and colleagues on hospital ward layouts, showing that a more visually open corridor layout supported higher levels of care team communication
Corridors don't just connect things - they are important spaces for knowledge work

Together with my brilliant collaborator @ChrystalaPsathiti, I was invited by the #WorkplaceGeeks Ian Ellison and Chris Moriarty to talk about our latest research paper on adolescent perceptions of schools in relation to their spatial layout, originally published in the Journal of Architecture and now featured in the wonderful Workplace Geeks podcast series 3.

A special shout-out to the amazing seminar by my former PhD student and collaborator Dr @ChrystalaPsathiti on school buildings in Cyprus and how their spatial design relates to teacher control, feelings of belonging and community, and adolescent perceptions

New paper alert! @ChrystalaPsathiti and I argue in our paper in the Journal of Architecture published today that adolescents' positive perceptions of school depend (among other things) on the school layout and levels of visibility from the classroom, which enables a greater sense of belonging to the school community
