PRECEDENTS  I learned Focusing on touch, in particular, can enhance the tactile experience for the students and promote a better understanding of their surroundings. Incorporating different textures and materials into the design can provide sensory stimuli that support the development and awareness of touch. Providing ample space for activities is another key consideration. Sufficient space allows for greater mobility and independence, enabling students to navigate the environment with ease. DAY IN THE LIFE  Many considerations must be made when considering the day to day lives of those living with disabilities. The crucial aspects that need to be addressed are spacious access circulation, personal care areas, and life management areas that are free from obstacles. Imagine Close Chuck and Frida Khalo living in the Studio. They wake up in the morning and start the day painting as life management and go to the rehabilitation centers as personal care.
