| Abstract |
Innovative technology, social changes, and new demands force universities to seek new ways of learning and collaboration. To embrace witht
changes, universities rearrange buildings such as learning hub to provide social activity spaces. This study analyzed the spatial composition of
advanced hub buildings in universities to classified the types, and interpreted the characteristics of hub location and spatial structure,
investigate the spatial characteristics by VGA based on spatial syntax. By analyzing the characteristics of different types of hubs the research
purpose is to provide direction for the future development of university hubs and promote the development of Interdisciplinary. Research
hubs, supporting specific academic purposes, are located near major facilities offer more dedicated spaces for lectures and research activities,
featuring direct hallway connections to minimize spatial depth. The student support hubs offer more open, multipurpose spaces designed to be
flexible, allowing for a broader spectrum of student activities. All hub types aim for visual openness and accessibility for community spaces,
with research centers positioning community space centrally to encourage use. Student support centers prioritize connectivity between spaces,
enhancing multidisciplinary interaction by situating commercial and learning spaces near community areas. Design techniques like extended
staircases improve indoor-outdoor connectivity, enhancing the hubs' appeal and usage. |
