The American Institute of Architects, San Francisco (AIA SF) is inviting everyone to the Acoustic Wayfinding workshop happening on September 24, 2013 from 6:00 to 8:00 in the evening at the ARUP located at 560 Mission Street, 7th Floor, San Francisco, CA.

This seminar tackles Acoustic Wayfinding concepts which were introduced to the design community Cushner and Chris Downey back in 2011. It shall focus on creating a robust sensory environment in buildings in order to aid visually-impaired occupants. Attendees will work on a site-specific context and the facilitators will be facilitating a guided brainstorming to generate a multi-sensory mapping and to identify design elements that will be used to define the acoustic environment.

Cushner and Downey has been helping owners and designers in the implementation of acoustic and multi-sensory strategies defining place, orientation, and destination aiding visually impaired individuals in navigating buildings without relying heavily on technology.

Admission is priced at $30 for AIA members and $40 for general admission.
