Task 3: Evaluating public places

What have we done in this task?

• Design a grid to show the accessibility to public spaces for deaf, blind and wheelchair users.

• Visit public spaces, complete the grid and display results on the accessibility. 

• In our last meeting in Torrefarrera, our students made a collaborative work in order to assess the accessibility of all areas in Torrefarrera. This work is explained in this page.

Previous document: An interesting video by a blind architect (in TED Talks)

What would a city designed for the blind be like? Chris Downey is an architect who went suddenly blind in 2008; he contrasts life in his beloved San Francisco before and after -- and shows how the thoughtful designs that enhance his life now might actually make everyone's life better, sighted or not.
