The spatial structure of the buildings of the architecture colleges is a direct factor in stimulating the creative situation of the students of the architecture colleges through the formation of informal activities, which are reflected in the intelligibility of visibility, and permeability in the internal public spaces (foyers and corridors); through communication between students of the five years and the social interactions required by the methodology of architectural education, Accordingly, movement/ visibility relation is considered as a crucial aspect in explaining spatial manners of this spaces. The relation between both faces of the interior spaces' spatial configuration (foyers and corridors) represented by the movement axes, and visibility graph of the faculties of architecture is a phenomenon that lacks adequate research endeavors, despite its importance in the formation of informal activities within these spaces. Accordingly, The study aims to explain this relation. Using the comparative analysis methodology between Syrian and international colleges of architecture buildings, the result show full coincidence of the most integrated movement axes with the most integrated visibility areas, in some cases. And partial coincidence in others, with special syntactic position for gathering spaces in architectural college buildings.
