This study investigates the role of spatial connectivity in learning environments and its impact on social engagement, focusing on perceptions from teachers, students, and architects regarding a collaborative design model. Employing a multi-method approach that combines case study analysis and Space Syntax methodology, the research explores how spatial layouts influence social interactions and engagement. Ten focus groups of teachers, students, and architects identified key spaces fostering social connections and collaboration. The proposed redesign shifts from a traditional hierarchical structure to a more flexible layout, with classrooms arranged around a central common space to encourage social interaction. Data analysis, conducted using structured coding by Atlas-ti and Space Syntax tools like Convex Map and Axial Line Analysis, identified themes related to spatial diversity, adaptability, transparency, and the balance between open and focused spaces. The findings highlight the importance of adaptable, multifunctional spaces, and the need for spaces that promote social interaction and privacy. The study contributes valuable insights into how spatial configurations can foster collaboration and engagement in educational settings.
