More staircase!

Have you ever gone down the stairs as you close your eyes?
The biggest part that the blind feel fear on the street is using stairs. Using the stairs as we cannot see just ahead accompanies with a sense of unease. Being seized with fear and anxiety when we reach the end of the stairs can be the component to raise the possibility of danger. 
On this factor, the blind can recognize the dangerousness an grasp the number of stairs through the 'Safety Dot'.
Moreover, they can provide against emergencies and secure the trust in public services as they feel a sense of security when they reach the end of the stairs.

Staircase Handrail

This little piece of device is called “Slide” and is intended to be fitted around a staircase handrail. All you have to do is simply keep your hand on it and drag it along the railing as you walk up or down; as the ‘slide’ moves, it’ll generate electricity. This electricity will be used to light the arrowhead-shaped LEDs on the same device in situations like power outages or emergency situations.

Staircase and Lighting :D

LIGHTING!

Ever been stuck in a long corridor or staircase that runs endlessly? Have you fumbled your way out through such a place in darkness, only to stumble and lose your purse along the way? Here is a solution for such problems and this blind LED light helps you physically and visually perceive your way through dark passages and corridors. Even if it is a dimly lit apartment stairway, this LED light would help you to hold and walk without ever having to watch your step.

The idea is a really cool one and it is definitely workable. It would be awesome if this product is manufactured and sold at the market. The blind LED light also comes in many colors and you could choose the one that suits you the best. I guess one will not see any more cases of people falling down the stairs because it was too dark.

MATERIALS :D

Because I am designing a community center for blind students. I will need something which has texture, lighting (natural & artificial), colors
and sound (acoustic panels). These are the materials which are very inspiring and will help me design in my space.

SPACE PLANNING

I completed my space planning on Monday...I got heaps of feed-backs from my teachers (Joe, Rob and So young), so my next step is to implement feedback on prem. space planning. Hopefully I try to get my space planning signed off this week!

UID architects really inspire me they are simple, modern and fresh! these are few photographs which inspires me in my project that I am designing :D

Space Planning Prem :D

I got my work checked (plans) which went pretty well. I need to make some changes..and got so many feedback and ideas.

INSPIRATION :D

I have started my space planning...but before that...I want to go through my BCAs and few inspirations...to give me...better understanding in space planning....because I am designing for my blind people...its quite challenging as I have to take texture, lighting, color into consideration.

Site analysis

Feed back I got from Rob- concept presentation

• add audio/ acoustic 
• smell
• have different texture

this will help me develop my concept...

Last week on Wednesday I completed my Site Analysis...which was really good....I studied the floor plans and its location/site. Now it will help me do my space planning....and also develop my new concept.

CONCEPT- Experiments

Experimented with few Concepts for my design.... finalized one...but not satisfied with it.
