Abstract
Spatial layout can contribute to learning by mirroring the conceptual relations between contents, controlling access to the material and by presenting the object that the information is about, giving the learner first-hand experience of the object. Chapter author Kwek brings these considerations to bear on the spaces of vantages and galleries offered by two walks in Singapore that were designed, at least partially, with pedagogical intention: the fourteenth century Walk at Fort Canning and the Tiong Bahru Heritage Trail.
