We say that we can touch with the eyes, but can we observe with touch? Today, vision dominates all the other senses, making the architectural experience static and devoid of sensitivity. What could be more reliable and real than what we can touch? Our perception of the environment only becomes real when our body comes into contact with it. Designing architecture beyond the visual is also about paying special attention to people with impaired vision. Movement, sound, smell, materiality and light in contact with the body guide their experience and contribute to their appreciation of space. Putting yourself in the shoes of a blind person means thinking of space not as a spectator, but as an actor.
