Conclusion:
Existence is to sense. 5 major senses our body experiences; touch, vision, sound, taste, smell. If being disabled
shuts down one sensor, the other sensors upgrade themselves. These heightened senses should not be ignored.
An architect/ designer, should make sure, that each of these heightened senses are stimulated. The challenge
arises when the design is to be inclusive, in which case irrespective of the disabilities, senses need to be
activated for all masses. What thus forms become the definition of inclusive design.
