Abstract

A Complex for Visually Impaired: Multi-Sensory Architecture explores how built environments can be designed beyond visual aesthetics to engage all human senses. The project emphasizes tactile, auditory, olfactory, and spatial cues to create an inclusive and empowering environment for visually impaired users. By integrating textured surfaces, sound-guided navigation, natural ventilation, and fragrant landscaping, the design enhances orientation, safety, and independence. The complex redefines accessibility by shifting from barrier-free design to sensory-rich architecture, fostering dignity, comfort, and social interaction. It demonstrates how thoughtful spatial planning and sensory integration can transform architecture into an intuitive and inclusive experience for all users.
