Accesibilidad al patrimonio cultural para débiles visuales y ciegos en el Centro Histórico de Puebla: Una experiencia táctil

Abstract

Heritage conservation does not have an strategy of accessibility for blind people and persons  with visual weakness. It is necessary to offer alternatives so that the patrimony can be known, or recognized, by any person. In its different stages, the research project developed by the Faculty of Architecture of Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla and Re Genera Espacio, raises strategies of accessibility to heritage by developing a 3D model of little-known architectural spaces, obtaining a better reading of the heritage by the users through the volumetry and the detailed recognition of the elements. In this process, the work team was involved with an association of blinds and visually impaireds persons, experimenting on the type of materials, colors and dimensions.
