Dr. Mina Michel Samaan as a guest in the module "Inclusion in Architecture"

Seeing with his hands: A blind architect explores a tactile floor plan created by students in the course "Inclusion in Architecture"
Dr. Mina Michel Samaan, a blind architect from Egypt and Assistant Professor at Galala University, is currently a guest at the Chair of Social and Healthcare Buildings and Design. Our students benefited from his insights through presentations in the course "Inclusion in Architecture" and an engaging workshop. The tactile plans developed during the exercises gave him a glimpse into various apartment layouts and provided our students with valuable feedback on how to structure haptic drawings and models effectively.
