Thesis: Centre for the Visually Impaired - Ideation and Sketches

Initial thoughts


The design of the tactile and sensory experiences have been inspired by the work of Alvar Aalto. He took the sensory experience into account when designing.

The pulled back entrance will serve as a sheltered area for people and the lines of the ceiling will draw them in, right into the heart of the space: the cafe. The movement of the lines continues upward to further draw the eye and as an invitation to explore.








Architecture than can be experienced by touch: Design must not be limited to the vision
