What is healing by design ? Designing spaces according to people's perception and physiology, and therapeutic practice is the essence of therapeutic architecture. It involves using the environment to be restorative and support health and wellbeing.
Healing by design for deaf: The deaf, hard-to-hearing and the hearing-impaired persons inhibit a rich sensory world where vision and touch are the primary means of spatial awareness and orientation. They, therefore, require a special design concept that has already been established as Deafspace. Deafspace is guided by five guidelines referred to as The Deafspace Design guidelines. They are Light and color, Sensory reach, Space and proximity, Mobility and proximity and Acoustics.
