Light, texture and sound in a training centre for the blind and visually impaired

KENGO KUMA suggests that fashion driven architecture is a thing of the past as occupants begin to demand more from the space that they inhabit. This project aims for an architecture that connects building and occupant through the use of light, and materials, and the connection of them and the human body. Programme: a training centre for the blind and visually impaired that aims to assist the reintegration of the non-sighted and sighted communities through their economic independence. The building would also offer spaces such as a cafe and a conference centre that would generate funds, making the running of the building itself self-reliant.
