Fourteenth International Conference on Design Principles & Practices

Abstract

Visually impaired people explore their environments in a unique way. Many art museums are primarily focused on the visual arts; therefore, the experience is limited for some visitors. A museum offering a full sensory experience specifically created for the blind results in a heightened experience for all. The intent of this project is to explore alternative methods of interpretation with the architecture spaces and improve the effective experience within the museum. By introducing innovative technologies, methods and thorough code analysis and investigation this museum creates a multi-sensory experience. My design and spaces planning focuses on the disabled, specifically blind people and people with sight problems. By design explores ways blind people can interact and learn about art and history and enjoy the entertainment as well.
