While architects think and work in a visual way, people who are visually impaired may pay more attention to other senses and are able to appreciate other spatial qualities. In my thesis project, I have explored architecture for the visually impaired. The idea is rooted in a frustration of that architecture is almost always valued visually. All other senses are mostly ignored - or at least never prioritised. What is architecture based on other senses than sight? If architecture is experienced by all senses - mustn’t architects involve all senses in their design process? In this project, the aim has been to create architecture that improves the visitors’ spatial perception by activating all senses as an experience and a source of information.
