Clearly, an important part of this process is that spatial awareness we call place. For places not only offer resources of many different kinds (for example, spatial layouts which may allow certain kinds of interaction rather than others) but they also provide cues to memory and behav- iour. In a very real sense, places are a part of the interaction. One thing that does seem to be widely agreed is that place is involved with embodiment. It is difficult to think of places outside the body. Think, for example, of a country walk and place consists not just of eye surveying prospect but also the push and pull of walking up hill and down dale, the sound of birds and the wind in the trees, the touch of wall and branch, the smell of trampled grass and manure. Or think of a walk in the city and place consists not just of eye making contact with other people or advertising signs or buildings but also the sound of traffic noise and conversation, the touch of ticket machine and hand rail, the smell of exhaust fumes and cooking food. Once we start to think of place in this kind of way we also start to take notice of all kinds of things which previously were hidden from us.
