Brief About The Project: 

Behind The Seen is a platform for all to create and experience art.Taking into consideration the needs of the visually impaired, this project aims at eliminating society’s prejudice against them and enable them to learn, enjoy, and create art (music, theater, creative writing, art and crafts), thus giving them a sense of achievement. While visitors are guided by an irregular path that will make them experience the world in the eyes of those deprived from sight by emphasizing on senses.Beyond visuals, architecture can be felt and experienced, resulting a richer meaning to a better studied space
