Uniservitate Award 2022 winning experience: TANAW. Breaking barriers for blind and visually impaired students through multi-sensory and experiential design

Presented by: UNISERVITATE

The TANAW project, recognised by the 2022 Uniservitate Award, is defined from an inclusive approach to build spaces oriented to the specific needs of visually impaired people. The experience, which involved 24 students from the interior design course at De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde (Manila, Philippines), was developed during the pandemic together with the representatives of the school for the blind and visually impaired, the contribution of partners and companies donating resources, in order to have the place ready to receive the users when they returned.
