What is Spatial Interaction?
Designing where people and systems are placed, and how they move, in a shared space.
What you learn

When it helps

Use it at work
- Map how people move and gather in the space.
- Place things where they help that flow, not block it.
- Check sight lines, reach and distance.
- Test at the busiest time of day.
