"We find it easy to remember the position of many items as one unit when arranged in large open spaces. Hence, large corridors, roads, and entrance areas that provide a broad overall view enhance wayfinding."
I think this is something that web design has lost. Most modern web design is optimised for the mobile and as a result, navigation and menus are hidden behind hamburger menus, swipe left menus, or behind mysterious icons. Instead of a broad overall view, the user has to enter each corridor and room to find out what is in there. Where once websites were about having a broad overall view of the site perhaps now it's about getting the focus on a piece of content on it's own.
I suppose another example that comes to mind is API Documentation on one page, versus split up into many little pages in a structured hierarchy.
