This research to date has proven valuable as its success would not only aid people with visual impairments but also everyone who can hear...

Due to time constraints and access problems due to Covid19, I did not get to fully complete the acoustic testing of the model during my...

See below the three stages of construction In progress Structure Cladding

The final design is a small reading nook, a place to escape briefly. It consists of 18 vertical pieces which define the shape. 5...

The Covid-19 restrictions meant the space which the model could be constructed was uncertain for a large part of the designing. While the...

This method could become something easily assessible to anyone with some basic computational skills and a small CNC cutter. I began to...

Success at Last My first successful test model was a combination of a stack method and a waffling method. This combination helped refine...

- Building on from Semester two At the close of semester two, I had completed a speculative retrofit design showing the possibilities of...

Moving on from last semester I felt the most significant part of my research was into the impact spatial form can have on how the mind...

Earlier this year I used Grasshopper definitions, in combination with Rhino, to create acoustic simulations that looked at how the shape...

Drawing set: Concept Cymatic Shapes Sections Plan Renders Where to go from here?

So I narrowed back in again on acoustic principles and science in an attempt not to lose my goal. That being to create a speculative...

Through my studies of acoustics, architecture and technology I have found 3 different ways sound can be communicated in a building. I...

According to the International Council of Museums, “A museum is a non-profit, permanent institution in the service of society and its...

In an article in The Architect's Take, Chris Downey, the blind architect, lists museums alongside public transport hubs as areas of...

Reading Further into the work of Shea Trahan, I began to think of how I could put an acoustic organisation onto Liberty Hall. As I...

Note : Rome wasn't built in a day and neither will sensory inclusive design techniques! To create fully sensory inclusive spaces, I think...

Some geometry which works well acoustically is not always practical, this is noticeable in the kitchen in my apartment 1 type. This type...

I began to look at how these irregular forms might be organised into Liberty Hall to create apartment blocks. I listened to the sounds...

Due to the generosity of the National Council for the Blind, I was able to conduct a discussion with a group of people with various...

After my studies on reverberation, I continued to use this Grasshopper definition to test different room shapes / forms. However despite...

I found this type of post-visual design which focused on the other senses was crucial within the design for the visually impaired. I...

Sound - Light - Smell - Touch Moving on from my white cane study I began to analyse the sound dynamics within Liberty Hall. I spoke to a...

This interview with Peter from Haptic Solutions Inc explores how we might simulate smell in immersive design models.

Sound - Light - Smell - Touch Sound is the most significant way in which visually impaired people gain information of the world around...

From the recent Survey about Sensory workplaces it was evident that most experiences were based on the visual. Thus it is essential we...

From a survey I recently undertook it is evident that people within a workplace enjoy a different sensory environment depending on the...

This question hit me when I grappled with how my current position would fit into the icon that is Liberty Hall. Designed By Des Rea O'...

Intersection is a research study taking place at Technical University Dublin into the intersection between architecture and virtual...
