Architecture is largely considered and judged as a visual medium. As described by Architect and author Juhani Pallasmaa, the ocularcentrism paradigm of our current culture weakens the sense of materiality and the holistic architecture experience. Could architecture be as Meaningful and Engaging if we are to take sight away from it? This thesis investigates the possibilities of designing for the visually impaired, approaching this topic through material investigation, literary and original research.
