Abstract:
This research considers the need for designers to provide access for people who are blind, the
relevant conditions for access, and the processes of production for creating design that offers
simultaneous access to those with sight and those without. Issues of access for an independent lifestyle
are examined through research and primary accounts in the form of interviews. This information
provides a platform to begin to understand the barriers for the blind and the understanding of human
senses that is vital to the advancement of accessible design.
