What is DeafSpace and how can it enhance architecture for everyone?
How can architecture embrace diversity? The DeafSpace approach offers an answer, and a much-needed alternative to what, until recently, has been the norm in building design.

As Jos Boys, founder of The DisOrdinary Architecture Project, explains,
'DeafSpace is one of many potentialities, there's no such thing as a one-size-fits-all solution, but we need diversity, and this is just one of many ways of designing with generosity.'
With a growing and deeper understanding of our diverse physical and neurological experiences, could we see more buildings embracing DeafSpace as a creative catalyst? More than just a framework for accessibility, DeafSpace offers a blueprint for inclusive architecture that is visually compelling and sensorially rich, benefiting not only the deaf community but all who engage with the built environment.
