THESIS TOPIC

SCHOOL FOR THE BLIND

INTRODUCTION

India has misfortune of having the largest number of blind persons in the world. Blindness is a disability, which one can
overcome with proper training and guidance. Persons affected by blindness need opportunities for quality education,
skills, training, rehabilitation, employment and a full social and family life.

CAUSES OF BLINDNESS

There are many things which causes blindness. Sometimes babies are born blind, but most blind people become blind
later on. Glaucoma, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy are the three most common causes of blindness today. Many
older persons lose their vision from macular degeneration. Some people become blind through accidents.

WHY THIS PROJECT?

Persons affected by blindness just need an opportunity. Heres a list of some occupations in which blind people are
working today, but there are many more. Farmers, lawyers, secretaries, factory workers, drill press and lathe operators,
nurses, child care workers, social workers, computer programmers, insurance salespeople, housewives, teachers,
professors, telephone operators, counselors, librarians, mid wife, aerobic instructor, HR managers, bankers,
stockbrokers, accountants, journalists, and many, many more.
If you believe that they can do the job, and if employer believes he can, there are very few jobs blind people cannot do. It
is most important for blind people to have the chance to choose whatever job they want, and for the public to give blind
people the opportunity.

Though this looks good, there is basic support, infrastructure, facilities, that are need to be provided to these
people, only then they will be able to work independently. For this basic education i.e. education up to 10th is the
most important and critical. Major problems are faced by the Blind people are mainly in this age group. Once they
are guided properly then they can live normal life afterwards.
This critical job of educating them is done by Blind Schools.

AIM

To develop sensitive towards campus planning for tangential educational strategies while incorporating
concepts of interactivity within.
Offers a barrier free environment for children with immense possibilities of innovation.

MAJOR OBJECTIVES

Understanding the ideology of the school and translating it into the built form.
Studying site and climate responsive design methods to find context specific solutions.
Focus on aspects on the site planning.
Evolving an architectural vocabulary with respect to form, materials. Shape and scale of the project.
Undertake a spatial analysis and detail out the building design.
Integrating infrastructure with the building program.
Integrating technology with the building program.
