Networks, Space and Organisations Kerstin Sailer, June 2010
Theoretical Context: Social Relations, Networks and Organisations
People participate in multiple networks: cross-cutting social circles (Simmel 1890)
Spatial and transpatial networks (Hillier and Hanson 1984; Hillier 2009)
Spatial Networks: we inhabit or move
through them, ‘where we are’,
neighbourhoods, face-to-faceinteractions, proximity
Transpatial Networks: ‘who we are’,
e.g. kinship networks, guilds,
professional memberships, clubs,
societies, affiliation, belief, etc.

The Interplay of Networks, Space, People, and Organisations
Example: Frequency of Interaction as a Result of Office Location in a University School
UNIVERSITY PRE (2005) UNIVERSITY POST(2007)
Daily interaction was 65% team internal, yet 91% floor internal (PRE)
Daily interaction was 54% team internal, yet 86% floor internal (POST)
