ONLINESURVEY

“Not that I know, I guess I've seen toilets for handicapped, but that's about it. Bars might be to high for people in wheel chairs. Might be too tight to walk around for both blind and people with wheel chair.”

“Not particularly, I guess with such high traffic, spacing and dim lighting could cause difficulties for people. But again it depends on the type of disability...”

“No - if visually impaired u rely on hearing to assess room size, where u r going etc etc and with music this becomes extremely difficult. Bars also do not accomodate those in wheelchairs due to table heights. Ease of movement around tables and chairs as well as disabled toilets pretty much not existing or extremely difficult... Try being in a wheelchair and making your way through a double bathroom door!” “No. I don't think alot of bars

contemplate accomodating for visual impairments and other disabilities within their premises or OH&S.”

“Not all. there are usually stairs, no ramps or elevators.”

COMMUNICATIONSAFETY

NAVIGATIONINNOVATION

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS:

A person who is legally blind does not necessarily live in darkness. Often legally blind

people have a sense of light, color and contrast.

For most visually impaired people, the area in which they concentrate their residual vision whilst navigating is approximately looking downwards within 2 metres.

Critcal surfaces include floor and wall surfaces, and require adequate colour differentiation between them.

This image demonstrates reasonable contrast between the walking and sales area of the shop. Unfortunately the polished floor finish allows for lghting to reflect and illuminate thus confusing the area scanned by visually impaired people.

NAVIGATION:CRITICAL SURFACES

NAVIGATION: CONTRASTING COLOURS

Critical surfaces are large areas which form an impression of the shape, space and proximity. Such examples include ceilings, walls, floors and stairs, Navigating through a building if the areas are distinguished by contrasting colours. Some critical surfaces may be covered in subtle patterns though busy, irregular geometric patterns can be especially unhelpful.

On critical surfaces where two colours are to be used for example if a wall was divided by a dado rail, the upper segment of the wall needs to be different from the ceiling colour. The same principle would apply to the lover half of the wall, being significantly different to the floor.

Good use of contrasting colours

MANTIS BAR

NAVIGATION: FURNITURE

In a survey conducted as part of Project Rainbow, the vast majority of visually impaired people (encompassing all natures of vision loss) stated that colliding with furniture and obstacles in the walking area was a frequent and disconcerting experience.

The number of obstacles portruding into, or located in the walking area should be kept to a minimum. If provided they should be adequately colour contrasted with the critical surface against will most likely be viewed.

- Furniture should be arranged in small groupings so people can communicate easily.

- Use bold colors. Bright, solid colors are easier for the visually impaired to see.Make sure nothing blends into each other.

- Adequate lighting near furniture. Consider texture wherever possible.

- Use brightly coloured accessories such as vases and lamps to make it easier to locate.

- Avoid upholstery and floor coverings with patterns. This can create confusion. Decorate with different shapes and textures.

NAVIGATION: INTERIOR DECORATING

COMMUNICATION:BRAILLE E-BOOK

The braille E-book utilises electromagnetuc signals to manipulate a responsive surface. This new fad of e-readers is an exciting addition to the visually impaired community.

COMMUNICATION:PROJECT BEE

Project Bee is an interactive GPS enabled handcuff that directs visually impaired people through the use of audio and haptic feedback. The device is predominantly voice-controlled which not olnly directs you where to go, but also helps to locate products, data and hazards.

COMMUNICATION:B-TOUCH

The B-touch combines a book reader, navigation system, camera-based object recogniser, and all the features of a standard phone. The braille interface is changeable and also integrates voice-operated commands.

COMMUNICATION:WINE LABELLING

The Lazarus Wine’s braille label was produced by blind people, with the label designed to highlight this aspect of production. The label is also intelligble for those who are visually impaired.

This thoughtful design addresses the independence sought by visually impaired persons who prefer or have to get around spaces with out assistance from others. The Raynes Rail is a handrail system that features Braille messages located on the rail’s inner face. In addition to the raised messages, audio information can also be accessed at strategic locations (a tool which sighted individuals will also appreciate).

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS:

APPROACHINGSUSTAINABLE APPLICATION

The materials we choose can have an impact on resource depletion, climate change, water scarcity, biodiversity loss, pollution during production, waste and even on our very own health. The main aim is to minimise environmental impact as well as assess their merits and life cycle. As designers it is important to familiarise with the familiar environmentalist’s mantra of the three R’s - reduce, re-use, recycle as well as renewables.

Reduce - To reduce the amount of raw materials as well as the waste, packaging, embodied energy and water, transportation and air pollution.

Re-use - To re-use materials. This approach needs to be applied to the whole life-cycle. Using reclaimed materials and those that can be re-used at end of project.

Recycle - Where materials are reprocessed into a new form. It diverts waste materials from landfills and reduces amount of virgin resources needed to make new produtcs.

Renewable - Self-replenishing materials.

ORGANISATIONS:CERTIFIED PRODUCTS

Many organisations offer schemes which consider the environmental impact of a product. Examples include; WWF’s One Planet Living program which has a global emphasis on MBDC’S Cradle to Cradle, EcoLogo in North America, Environmental Choice in NZ and Green Mark in Asia. It considers ten principles; carbon, waste, transport, materials, food, water, wildlife, culture, equity and health.

FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) monitor responsible sourcing of timber, rubber, providing chain of custody certification which confirms the timber sourced from a sustainably managed forest. Other programmes include PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) and the AFSC (Australian Forest Stewarship Scheme).

Ecospecifier’s “Green Tag” a new eco-label for green building materials and products. The rating includes health and toxicity issues of products, embodied carbon, biodiversity impacts, efficiency of building and installation, and corporate social responsibility.

The Good Environmental Choice Label is an Australian environmental labelling program that indicates the environmental performance of a product from a whole of product life perspective.

Designtex obligates itself around decisions and actions in sustainable thinking, as well as inspire sustainable awareness in others.

Designtex specialise in products such as upholstery, wallcoverings, panel fabrics, private textiles and rugs.

Products labelled as ED (environmental design) are sourced from raw materials then re-utilised. One specific product within its upholstery department includes those specified under post-consumer which are sourced from PET (polyester) resin bottles used for water, soda and other beverage packaging. This can then be converted into recycled polyester yarns and fabrics.

SUSTAINABILITY:THE SUSTAINABLE DANCE FLOOR

The Sustainable Dance Floor™ is the first dance floor which captures the energy of dancing. The energy produced by movement is converted into electricity that is used to make the dance floor react to the dancer in an interactive way. The floor also indicates different visual experiences based on every energy level, such as “loading” and “average”, to the maximum level of the evening the “ultimate high”! All visuals are a continuous real-time interaction between the clubbers on the floor, allowing every individual’s actions to contribute to the collective experience.

SUSTAINABILITY:THE SUSTAINABLE DANCE FLOOR

An important feature of the Sustainable Dance Floor includes its unique feedback capability. The basic visual feedback are the LED lights in the floor which lights up when modules are being stepped on. Sensitivity and colors can be adjusted. Next to the floor, there can be two different feedback systems that provide the experience of the dance floor. First there is the energy meter Tower; a physical tower made from aluminum, steel and transparent materials. It can be placed near the floor and it is connected electrically.

SUSTAINABILITY:THE SUSTAINABLE DANCE FLOOR

HOW IT WORKS:

ELASTIC TOUCHSCREEN BYTHIRD EYE STUDIOS

The system is designed by Third Eye Studios which is based around the idea of an elastic touchscreen for the user’s input, purely based on the experience of driving an acura.

The Lycra scrim is controlled by an overhead projector which emulates the pattern of water in a flowing stream and can be manipulated by pushing down on the flexible touchscreen. By touching the table’s surface and pushing down the nylon, the surface sends and receives energy on points where you touch the surface. This then triggers a sound event. If touched at multiple points there are mixed sounds at that instance of time.

INTERACTIVE LIGHTING“BIFID” BY BIOTHING

In Bifid the differential behavior of the material system is a composite of: algorithmically derived intersection points between the components, constraints of the numerically controlled fabrication method and material properties of the polycarbonate material (proportion of stiffness and elasticity). Pulsing lighting patterns were programmed based on the same mathematics of wave interference applied to geometry of the ceiling.

INTERACTIVE LIGHTING & SUSTAINABILITY“KUBIK”

Kubik is a green-designed nightclub which was located in Barcelona. It is combination of architecture, sustainability, light and music. Kubik incorporates reclaimed material usage.Much of the structure is built from hundreds of reclaimed, stacked, and illuminated industrial tanks.

ECO-FRIENDLY CHANDELIERBY BENOIT VIEBLED

Benoit Vieubled’s eco-friendly chandelier is made using 15 world globes. The world globe chandelier brings a sense of whimsy and curiosity to lighting, offering an opportunity for learning and play facilitated by a chandelier.

CHANDELIER BOTTLE CEILINGFOR AESOP

Sustainability does not necessarily have to look boring, drab and pedestrian. Australia-based brand Aesop, which specialises in boutique botanical skincare products, built a retail store in Adelaide that has a ceiling crafted entirely out of recycled bottles arranged in a funky wave pattern.

DIGITAL GRAFFITI WALLTANGIBLE INTERACTION

Digital graffiti wall introduced by ‘Tangible ‘Interaction’ is an innovative interface which connects multiple users through graffiti artwork.

MULTICULTURALISMIN AUSTRALIA: THE FACTS

One in four Australians are born overseas.

45 per cent of all Australians were born overseas or have at least one parent who was born overseas.

We speak more than 260 languages.

We identify with 270 ancestries.

Nearly 87 per cent of Australians think it is a good thing for society to be made up of different cultures.

15% of Australian born people reported consuming alcohol at risky/high risk levels in the long term. This is similar to the proportion for those born in the United Kingdom and higher than for all other birthplaces.

People born in North Africa and the Middle East had the lowest proportion of adults consuming alcohol at risky/high risk levels (2.2%), followed by those born in South-East Asia (4.4%) and Southern and Eastern Europe (6.0%).

MULTICULTURALISM: THE FACTS

SIGNAGE: INTERNATIONAL PICTOGRAMS

Pictogram and simple image are useful method as icon or sign for almost everyplace. It means they are efficient to notify or give information to people without any words.

They have high possibility to support the communication between a patient and a doctor without spoken language. It ‘however’ is not clarified yet how much they are useful to express a symptom and deliver a sentence in the communication.

TRANSLATION: iPHONE APP “JIBIGO”

Jibigo incorporates state of the art Speech Recognition Technology with a vocabulary of 40,000+ words Speech-to-speech translation application for your iPhone, iPod, or iPad: Jibbigo is not a dictionary and not a phrase book, but a speech translator
