3. INTRODUCTION:
As we have 5 senses “sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch”
out of these senses vision is one of the most important.
About 40% of brain is used in sense of sight and in our
society some persons haven’t that gift and they are called
BLIND or visually impaired person in medical terms it is
called DIPLOPIA.
As we know that Architects are social scientist so they have
to do something for that blind persons because they are
part of our society and to feel the whole environment
through special spaces and experience the beauty of nature
without any guide or support.

report 2010)
1.14 million are blind in Pakistan (NCPB 2006)(National committee for
the preventation of blindness )
And the number is increasing that is 2 million in 2010 by
