Comparative case analysis reveals spatial zoning impacts accessibility and engagement in art galleries, suggesting improvements.
This study examines the role of spatial zoning in fostering inclusivity within art galleries in Abuja, Nigeria. It explores how spatial organisation enhances accessibility, engagement, and comfort for diverse visitor groups, including individuals with varying physical abilities, cultural backgrounds, and socio- economic statuses. Employing a comparative case study approach, the research analyses spatial zoning strategies at Thought Pyramid Art Centre, Retro Africa, and Nike Art Gallery. Findings highlight the impact of zoning on movement, interaction, and engagement, while also identifying challenges such as circulation inefficiencies, accessibility limitations, and inadequate wayfinding systems. Based on the analysis, the study proposes strategies including flexible zoning, improved wayfinding, and the incorporation of sensory and child-friendly spaces to enhance inclusivity. These recommendations underscore the significance of intentional spatial design in promoting cultural exchange and accessibility
