“…The experience-based learning approach is also crucial from a retail management perspective and, of course, a retail design perspective. Soft skill development, simulated navigation of roles, support in pursuing success, and bridging the gap between textbook and real-world emerge as the main positive outcomes for students in participating in comprehensive course projects exposing them to work with retailers or companies to solve particular issues the firm faces (Jones et al, 2021). Similarly, the need for collaboration in educational curricula between educational institutions, here, in particular, Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs), professionals and retailers, becomes crucial to provide students with up-to-date competencies suited to the changing retail sector.…”

The retail industry is a fast-changing sector characterized by innovations’ openness to adoption dictated both by technological advancement, supply chain management transformation and consumer behaviour evolution. As an increasingly knowledge-intensive industry, updated retail skills and competencies need to be investigated and improved, promoting new educational and learning approaches.The paper presents the results of an experience-based learning held within the “Fashion Retail Experience Studio” course at the School of Design of Politecnico di Milano and rooted in a project-based approach. Several learning tools were developed and applied in order to investigate how design can properly manage multi-level and multidisciplinary retail challenges fueling and generating meaningful innovation. A transdisciplinary perspective was also adopted in designing new design learning tools or adapting management, marketing and IT retail tools to enhance design competencies and skills with a holistic approach.

“…Furthermore, the economic implications of special cognition are accordingly ignored (Deb and Mitra, 2020). Hence, enhancing costumer experience through factors that influence spatial cognition and navigability should be addressed strongly for the optimization of RF and are a candidate to enhancing the experience-based learning approaches (Iorio and Spagnoli, 2023;Jones et al, 2021;Woods et al, 2022). It is worth noting that the utilization of space syntax techniques is highly suitable for this task (Yamu et al, 2021;Youssef and Youssef, 2022), yet little research has used this approach to study the specifics of RF design, rather most space syntax based studied investigated larger retail scales such malls, shopping venues and commercial districts (Andi et al, 2023;Deb and Mitra, 2020).…”

Purpose This study aims to explore the impact of retail facilities’ (RF) characteristics on customers' spatial cognition and accessibility to products, which inherently affect the facility's performance. Namely, the ratios of the facilities’ dimensions and the shelving configurations are investigated. Design/methodology/approach The visual attributes of RF are used as the method of assessment, relying on the principles of the Space Syntax theories; several design alternatives of RF are generated which represent different characteristics and compared using computer software (Depthmap X). The perceived variance in performance sheds light on the influence of the investigated characteristics. Findings The results have pointed out that dimension ratios can affect the facilities’ performance, especially with the shelving configuration considered. Furthermore, certain shelving layouts are more advantageous compared to other layouts. Other design features have been concluded, shedding light on measures for optimizing performance. Research limitations/implications Due to the endless number of possibilities of retail facility designs, the study has focused on simplified designs only, excluding intricate designs which can possibly offer an additional important perspective on design influences. Practical implications The findings benefit the RF sector by producing customer-centered designs through optimizing layouts and configurations, improving product visibility and enhancing accessibility. This potentially enhances costumers' experiences and promotes satisfaction, thus attracting more consumers and increasing sales. Originality/value Although the Space Syntax principles are long-established, their application to RF is novel. This is also true for the findings which can represent a guide for retail facility designs.
