In a group of 2-3, we were assigned to design a Disabilities Experience Pavilion that is meant to serve as a small recreational space in a hypothetical park for people with disabilities. The pavilion should be designed within an area of 8m (w) x 8m (l) x 4m (ht). The structure should be assumed to be sitting on flat ground. 50% of the above area should be left open to allow the pavilion to take advantage of the environmental qualities of a park. The pavilion should be constructed using weather-proof materials and should be outdoor worthy. 

Each student group were tasked to choose a specific type of disability (physical, intellectual, or sensorial) and to design a structure that would allow this user group to participate in a set of recreational activities. Our group chose blindness and visual impairment as our disability. One of the aims of the structure si toto highlight the importance disability awareness in the design of spaces.
