From Functional Space to Experience Space:

A novel approach to museum design emerges, transforming functional spaces into immersive experience spaces. This study applies space syntax—a mathematical framework analyzing spatial logic—to the Gulangyu Organ Museum in Xiamen, China, revealing structural insights through topological depth, visual graph analysis, and agent simulation. Key findings suggest rearranging layouts to enhance visitor engagement, bridging the gap between static functionality and dynamic spatial experiences. The methodology offers a scalable template for optimizing cultural institutions like galleries, promising broader applications in heritage conservation and urban planning.
