This project aimed at providing the space that was not directed by the sight and explored the language for visually impaired people.
Multi-sensory schemes including sound boundaries, tactility and curve walls are beneficial for them to define the interior. Repurposing the hotel was also the topic involved in this project that the materials applied were derived from the existing structure.

" One should not think of the life of the blind person as a cake which has had a slice cut out of it.
Rather, it is like a smaller cake."

Material Exploration
The sponge was used as sound-absorbing material for the domes that changes the echo for the visually impaired. In terms of the performing route, tiles delivered the heat and were piled into two layers that created a cracking sound when walking. Meshes were installed between layers of tiles in the areas of performance that the sound difference served as a reminder to the audience.
