Your stress of concepts begs the question, “Where do they come from?” “That’s the question, isn’t it? It all depends. Some concepts are derived from the site, or still, some from the program. Then there are those that are derived from specific architectural problems.” - Bernard Tschumi(http://architizer.com/blog/ interview-bernard-tschumi-paints-the-town-red/)

Sabriye Tenberken ( a nominee for Nobel Peace Prize in 2005) and Paul Kronenberg started an institute Braille Without Borders (BWB) which is an international organisation for the blind in developing countries in 1998. BWB's mission is to give hope and practical skills to the blind and in particular to teach Braille to the blind in developing countries.They started International Institute for Social Entrepreneurs (IISE) in 2009 in the year Trivandrum is a non-profit institute training people in social entrepreneurship in Kerala, India .
Why do we need a blind school ? The subject of blindness and education has included evolving approaches and public perceptions of how best to address the special needs of blind students. These institutions provided simple vocational and adaptive training, as well as grounding in academic subjects offered through alternative formats. Why do we need an institute for social entreprenuers ? Social entrepreneurs are individuals with innovative solutions to society’s most pressing social problems. They are ambitious and persistent, tackling major social issues and offering new ideas for wide-scale change.

India has largest blind population Kounteya Sinha, TNN | Oct 11, 2007, 02.32AM IST 0
NEW DELHI: India is now home to the world's largest number of blind people. Of the 37 million people across the globe who are blind, over 15 million are from India.

What's worse, 75% of these are cases of avoidable blindness, thanks to the country's acute shortage of optometrists and donated eyes for the treatment of corneal blindness. While India needs 40,000 optometrists, it has only 8,000.

On the other hand, while India needs 2.5 lakh donated eyes every year, the country's 109 eye banks (five in Delhi) manage to collect a maximum of just 25,000 eyes, 30% of which can't be used.
panel its purpose:
According to Ajeet Bhardwaj, outgoing president of the Asia Pacific Optometrists Organisation, India has 12,000 ophthalmologists who have no time to conduct blindness-preventing surgeries because they are flooded with general eye check-up of patients.
tju's charge on more
"For India, it is vital that ophthalmologists focus on surgeries and optometrists take charge of primary eye care refractive errors like presbyopia, contact lenses, low-vision aids and vision therapies. This is how most developed countries managed to control and eliminate avoidable blindness," Bhardwaj says. Bhardwaj says 153 million people in the country require reading glasses but do not have access to them. Optometrists are eye physicians concerned with vision care, eye diseases and prescribe eyeglasses, contact lenses and medications to treat eye disorders. An ophthalmologist specialises in surgical care of the eyes. India has just 20 optometry schools which produce just 1,000 optometrists annually as against the 17 million people being added to the population during the same period. There is a shortage of faculty as well. There are also no regulatory laws to control the practice of optometry even though refractive error is one of the leading causes of blindness. There is, therefore, no recognition, making Indian optometrists migrate to foreign shores. Optometry is among one of the best 10 professions in US and UK. Ophthalmologist Dr J S Titiyal, specialising in cornea and refractive surgery at AIIMS, agrees. "More well trained professional optometrists will immensely help India as it will give us time to concentrate on surgery, our primary specialisation. Anyway India has just one eye surgeon per 100,000 people. At present, patients come to us even for eye power check-up. The government also needs to standardise optometric education to maintain quality," he says. Meanwhile, shortage of donated eyes is becoming a huge problem. Of the 15 million blind people in India, three million, 26% of whom are children, suffer due to corneal disorders. But only 10,000 corneal transplants are being done every year due to the shortage of donated eyes. The Union health ministry has already launched a national programme to control blindness and expects to reach its blindness elimination target of 0.3% by 2015, five years before the WHO deadline of 2020.

NEW DELHI: The Delhi government is discreetly working on five mega commercial projects that might soon change the face of the area around ITO, to be built on 159 acres of prime land that currently houses the Rajghat and Indraprastha power plants, DTC headquarters, Vikas Bhavan and the VAT building. In addition to commercial redevelopment, these projects will feature hotels, restaurants, parking, a 26-acre city forest, enclaves for DTC, and parks and other recreation venues along the Yamuna. The Delhi state industrial and infrastructure development corporation (DSIIDC) will construct these projects at an estimated cost of `1,200 crore, but the value of commercial real estate created would well run into tens of thousands of crores. The project will host more than adequate office space to house all Delhi government offices at ITO. The rest of the space would be sold to government and private companies.
