This paper is an attempt to reveal the setting of a beautiful park according to people with visual impairment. It contributes to the practice of architecture that is enjoyable to live by all members of society, including the visually impaired. A general notion of beauty from Kant (2000) and Dutton (2009), along with the notion of a multisensory architecture from Pallasmaa (2012) are used as an approach to understanding these phenomena. The research was conducted by observing, recording, and interviewing a group of visually impaired in relation to their activity and how they inhabit the space of an urban park. The finding shows that the sound of the fountain, the smell of the park, and the cool atmosphere are the combinations of elements necessary to create a strong feeling of beauty within urban space that is projected by the visually impaired. |
