Abstract

(Background and Purpose) Human living spaces encompass various areas such as residential spaces, workspaces, leisure spaces, and public spaces. Among these, workspaces serve not only as places where individuals spend a significant amount of time but also as hubs for knowledge exchange and information sharing. In modern society, due to industrial diversification and the knowledge and information age, office spaces have evolved into crucial areas for diverse forms of communication. To adapt to these changes, it is essential to innovate collaboration methods and create proactive work environments. This study aims to analyze the evolution of traditional office space structures within the context of the contemporary era using spatial syntax and to understand the utilization and interaction within office spaces by analyzing the changes in the spatial structure of offices over time. (Method) To analyze office spaces from the late 19th century to the present, block space syntax is utilized. This method involves dividing office spaces into blocks and analyzing their size, location, and relationships. Office spaces are categorized into unit spaces and circulation spaces for analysis. Unit spaces represent individual areas typically used within offices, while circulation spaces depict pathways for movement within a building. This analysis helps understand the connections, functions, and relationships between unit spaces and circulation spaces, providing insights into the spatial configurations of offices over time. (Results) This study conducted a comparative analysis focusing on nine office cases from the late 19th century to the present. Traditional offices were analyzed through specific cases such as the Wainwright Building, Johnson Wax Headquarters, Ossram Offices, Chase Manhattan Bank, and Central Beheer Headquarters, categorized by historical periods. For contemporary global office examples, the study selected cases like Korea Tire Techno Dome, Googleplex 43, Google Bay View, and Apple Park. Through this analysis, it was observed that past offices predominantly adhered to classical designs and layouts centered around individual spaces. In contrast, modern global offices emphasize open and collaborative spaces. (Conclusions) This paper holds significance in understanding the characteristics and trends of modern global office space structures by analyzing diverse office environments. Utilizing the tool of Space Syntax, specifically the Convex map, the study employed scientific and objective data analysis. However, it is essential to acknowledge the limitations of subjective information, data accuracy, and the subjective influence on spatial structure interpretation. Despite these limitations, the research findings can provide valuable information to office designers, researchers, businesses, and stakeholders. Moreover, it is believed that this study can serve as a foundation for further research in future office environments, even when considering these constraints.
