This reading put some of my feelings toward accessibility in museums into words. This Summer, when I attended the Venice Biennale with my study abroad class, I enjoyed the experience but did not realize until later, when another student brought it up, that the entire Biennale was fairly inaccessible to anyone with mobility issues or any differently-abled people.
I agree that it is important to design for all of the senses, not just for vision. Designing to appeal to different senses also helps us as designers to think critically about what we are creating and all of the different ways it can be perceived, and we should start the process with this in mind.
Universal or Inclusive Design feels to me like the logical direction for all forms of design to move toward.
