| dc.description.abstract | American Sign Language (ASL) is not transparent; one cannot understand it until
one learns it. It takes many years of study and interactions with people who use it
daily to be able to properly learn the language. The same can be said about architecture and the communicated language of the built environment. Architecture, like ASL, uses non-verbal communication; it tells a story through specific elements and gestures. However, when one element or gesture is compromised, the others must still communicate the same story to offer everyone a unique experience. Communication is a vital part of design and our everyday lives as we interact with the built
environment. How effective is architecture as a sign language when compared to
American Sign Language used in deaf and heard-of-hearing communication? | en_US |
