DeafSpace

A design philosophy and set of architectural and spatial principles developed from understanding how deaf people experience and navigate physical and digital environments. DeafSpace considers factors like visual access, lighting, spatial orientation, and the need for unobstructed sight lines that allow sign language communication. In digital contexts, DeafSpace principles inform interface designs that accommodate visual attention demands, support video communication, and organize content in ways that align with visual-spatial language processing rather than sequential auditory processing.
