The thesis project tackles the vital question of how can interior design empower deaf, blind, and disabled youth pursuing the arts. The hub is designed to break down barriers in arts education and professional realms, featuring multi-sensory environments and accessible spaces that promote well-being, artistic and career development.
BACKGROUND
Deaf and disabled individuals con These barriers are distilled into th attitudinal barriers, accessibility ba disabilities face unemployment or development opportunities, and ina is accessible and inclusive for all, i provide career oppurtunities for yo
CONCEPT
The concept of the project takes inspiration from multisensory design which aims to redefine the conventional understanding of wayfinding by embracing the senses to navigate the space Integrating tactile, audito elements can help participant independently and easily fu enhancing their well-being
ensory elements in interior whose other senses are
mpromised It provides a mental framework providing a spatial understanding that enhances independent navigation Altso taking inspiration from Kevin Lynch's theory of the five elements of the city is beneficial for human wayfinding as a way to organize the space to ensure legible design making spaces more memorable and easy to navigate

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK AND PROGRAMME
The research aims to enhance the well-being and creative development of deaf, blind, and disabled youth by applying the "Four Ps of Creativity" framework people, process, product, and place. The theory is translated into different types of spaces which support individual needs, group activities, relaxation, showcasing work, and hands-on learning. To ensure accessibility and a nurturing environment, several design strategies were applied: universal design, deaf space design and multi-sensory design. This approach creates an inclusive space that inspires and supports creativity for everyone.
