The SHADE project is organising two seminars in September focusing on the relationship between visual impairment, sensory experience and architectural design.

24 September | 12:30–13:30

The seminars are part of the SHADE – Fostering Blind People’s Well Being: Multisensory Sun Shelters in Green and Blue Spaces project, which explores how non-visual experiences can contribute to more inclusive, comfortable and user-oriented architectural design.
