| dc.description.abstract | Architecture has an immense effect
on our perception of reality. The way
one gains understanding of their surroundings
depends heavily on stimulation
of senses. The pitfall of designers
is the consciousness paid to occupants
who have an impaired sense of sight or
blindness. It is the architect’s responsibility
to make design decisions that
cultivate environments that everyone
can thrive in. Information for this research
will be gathered by analyzing
perception as it relates to the visually
impaired and comparing the principles
of language and semiotics to gain
an understanding of how architecture
is used as a tool of communication.
From this information, an indication
of architectural elements that should
be used to communicate to the visually
impaired will be made. The goal of
this research to produce a framework
of elements that can be applied to any
typology. | en_US |
