| Abstract |
This paper studied the spatial factors activating the personal interaction based on case studies of Mediatheques in France. The spatial factors are analyzed into material factors and dematerial factors. The material factors have physical features in space and directly or indirectly activate the personal interaction. They consist of 8 elements including pocket space, balcony, atrium, stairs, elevators, windows, conference rooms and furnitures. The dematerial factors consist of 6 elements including polycentrism, continuance, mixture, interpenetration, dematerialization, transparency. They are compounded of material factors and explain them conceptually. But dematerial factors are abstract concepts. To provide reliability I confirm the relationship with dematerial factors by using a connections, topology, a phased depth of the Depthmap as the framework of the visual recognition of the space syntax covering the characteristic of dematerial factors.The result of the quantitative analysis human-behavior in Venissieux Mediatheque and the result of applying the spatial factors of Mediatheques as the community center to the Venissieux Mediatheque proved that the spatial factors are significant factors of the Mediatheques as the community center. |
