Abstract:
Architecture typically is thought of as an aesthetically based art form, with the base in the visual representation of space. This project will challenge the experience of space and how it is perceived by individuals with sensory disabilities and those with no disabilities. In creating architectural experiences for individuals with disabilities the difficulty is to design based on individuals with the lack of vision and those individuals that lack the ability to hear. Since this project can’t be based on the visual representation of architecture along with creating architecture that is architecturally pleasing. So the basic premise is can architecture sing to the blind and stimulate the deaf? To do this the design process must change as well and try to live in the life of the blind and the deaf to know how they do perceive environments and spaces.
