    The document discusses the design of a living community for the deafblind that focuses on communication through the senses of touch and smell rather than language. It proposes using different architectural elements like floors, columns, walls, doors, and windows to logically sequence spaces that the deafblind can identify through movement, touch, and smell to form an understanding of the overall space. The goal is to create an environment where the deafblind can experience and recognize spaces through their remaining senses.

    Living Community for Deafblinds


    Architecture for the Senses
    Communication, ever since the beginning of human history has often been understood as an
    aspect of language. In Architecture, a space is made to communicate to its perceiver. It is an
    exchange between the space and the image that the user develops as he moves through the space
    while ex- periencing through his senses. Designing for the Deaf-blind puts forward questions
    about creating a perceivable image where the contribution of their remaining senses; touch and
    smell are put to test. The Deafblind user need to identify the pieces of architectural spaces each
    by experiencing through movement, touch and smell to complete this so called image of space !
    Space recognition is another aspect of Architectural Design. How does one form image of spaces
    that one can simply touch and smell ? The rudimentary role of those elements such as Floor, Column, Wall, Door and Window are used for logical sequencing of spaces for the Deafblinds to experience and recognise. This helps them understand the character of spaces; and the scale of
    these spaces help them relate the smaller pieces to the larger whole.
