Eyes Wide Shut

Almost two million people in the UK are living with sight loss. Only eight per cent are offered formal support from the NHS, and 48 per cent feel depressed and cut off from society.

The proposal is a Visual and Non-Visual Centre, which brings the blind, partially sighted and sighted together through ‘Art’, which everyone coming from any culture and community can understand in their own ways.

The architecture questions the ideal image. Because sight is the strongest sense and is prioritised above other senses by sighted people, the environment makes them aware of the sense of seeing.
