Abstract

Coworking space is a recently emerged phenomenon in the workplace, and registered coworking organizations have been increasing. Therefore, more and more researchers have explored the field of coworking space from various disciplinary perspectives. However, the study of coworking space that reflects the analysis of space syntax methods and theories has been overlooked. A literature review that considers the methodological and theoretical application of space syntax in coworking spatial configuration analysis is needed.
