Speace frienly for the blind = Przestrzeń przyjazna dla niewidomych

Abstract

The article presents issues connected with accessibility of public space for people with eyesight disabilities. The use of the extravisual spatial stimuli in shaping the urban environment has been analysed. Spaces in which musltisensory spatial reception is feasible become user-friendly, as they come to meet the changing needs of their users. The article introduces a system of textures aiding spatial orientation, navigation and travel of the visually impaired. The need to make use of the experience of people with eyesight impairments in the process of design has also been raised, as their expert knowledge can contribute to the creation of spaces of higher quality, spaces which will also serve all others.
