Abstract:
“We shape our buildings, and afterwards our buildings shape us.” (Winston
Churchill) Designing a healing center help blind people make them independent and will feel
safe and confident by merging in the urban context. In this report I describe what the blind
people are and what design guide lines required to build architecture according to other
senses and guidelines. And how historical background considers these senses in their
architecture terms, for them vision is not the priority. Decision of making healing center in
PUNJAB helps encourage other cities to build this kind of platforms or design on other parts
of the city as well. Design based on modularity using elements like open corridors which give
them different experience, landmarks to boost up their other senses, water channel as a
guiding element and also use of different materials to make them differentiate between the
spaces to make it sensory architecture so they interact with each other easily by sensing each
and everything happening around them by use of blind guidelines
