In this 75-minute course, Gilda Puente-Peters, CASp sheds light on designing accessible spaces for persons with vision impairments. After illustrating how visually-impaired people experience environments and demonstrating how people with canes avoid objects, Gilda presents a case study of the San Francisco LightHouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired, designed by Mark Cavagnero Associates with consultation from blind architect Chris Downey.

Viewers will gain a better understanding of how to incorporate wayfinding tools within buildings, including color, contrast, acoustic treatment, lighting and visual and tactile/Braille signage.
