Designing Visually Accessible Spaces
Individuals with low vision face many challenges when navigating the built environment. Therefore it is important for architects to incorporate Universal Design principles into project goals. Geometry, lighting, and surface properties of spaces and objects relate to visual performance and can be architectural solutions to visual accessibility problems.
