Beyond the Visual - DisOrdinary Architecture and Architecture Beyond Sight
In this conversation, Jos Boys of The DisOrdinary Architecture Project sits down with the RNIB: See Differently team to reflect on the initial years of DisOrdinary Architecture’s Architecture Beyond Sight project, what blind and partially sighted people can bring to the design of architecture and the built environment and how we can shape better building design and inclusivity around architecture for blind and partially sighted people that will in turn help everyone.
The podcast was recorded following the ‘Beyond the Visual’ symposium at Wellcome Collection in 2022, reflecting on what blindness brings to the experience of art within cultural organisations and beyond. Visually impaired and sighted speakers at the symposium included artists, creative practitioners, disability activists, historians, researchers and scientists together to not only to talk about inclusion and access to the arts for blind and partially sighted people but also to talk about what blind and partially sighted people can bring to cultural experiences for all.
