This research would include an exploration into the use of the senses within the

built environment and how we as sighted designers can understand, interpret

and contribute to a visually impaired person's experience of the built
environment.

Comparisons and contrasts between buildings in India and developed countries

will be analyzed in order to observe the problems that exist and what solutions
have been proposed to overcome these in the past.

The research would investigate the nature of the built environment and
interpret which aspects impact upon the visually impaired both to their
detriment, and conversely, to their improved quality of life.

The research would investigate how designers have incorporated these

elements into architecture in the past and draw conclusions on successful ways
in which to implement such elements into future designs.
