Several studies have dealt with the concept of mental image in the built environment. This concept is used to solve the difficulties of the wayfinding for new and frequent users to reach the desired spatial space. However, these studies did not address the importance of the Lobbies as an indoor reference Landmarks in shaping the physical aspect of the mental image of each building with its users (students, teachers and administrators). At the same time, they are considered a means of navigating to the various public spaces in the college building.
In an attempt to find the type of relationship between the change of the Syntactical characteristics of the Lobbies in the intelligibility of the recipient's mental image of its importance in determining the location of the elements in the building, and based on the hypotheses of the research and to achieve its objectives was measured the degree of intelligibility of the recipient's mental image using an analytical scientific method is the structural approach through the use of the method Space Syntax In determining the numerical weights of a building's spatial structure, these weights reflect the strength of the relative relations of the structural parts, and through the comparative analysis of university buildings including theoretical and practical faculties, a set of conclusions and recommendations help the designer in achieving image intelligibility of a user when designing buildings university colleges.
