Universiti Teknologi Malaysia is proud to host the 3rd International Space Syntax PhD Conference, organized by Department of Architecture, Faculty of Built Environment and Surveying. This esteemed international event will take place online in July 2025.
The conference is dedicated to PhD students who incorporate space syntax in their research. Its primary goals are to foster academic dialogue among emerging scholars, provide constructive feedback on research in progress, and support the development of a strong, connected space syntax PhD community and support network.
At the heart of the conference are content-focused discussions and personalized feedback sessions. Participating PhD students will present their work through an online platform (e.g., Zoom) to a panel of space syntax experts, who will offer immediate, insightful feedback. These sessions will be moderated by a member of the organizing committee, with another team member assigned to take notes and compile written summaries of the feedback.
Following the event, each student will receive the documented feedback to aid the continued development of their research.
Theme
Advancement in Space Syntax: Enhancing Connectivity Across the Global South
The growing recognition and emergence of the region have driven an initiative to advance evidence-based, research-led design methodologies in Space Syntax. Integrating knowledge of the tropical climate in Southeast Asia introduces a new dimension of cultural and environmental diversity to research, further enriching the field of Space Syntax.
