Telling a story should be more than just the visual aspect. Spatial Design should be concerned with all aspects of narrative or expression. Blindness is a 2008 English-language thriller, adapted from José Saramago's Blindness. One segment of the film deliberately shows a man who was originally blind and compares his behavior to that of other people who are suddenly blind. This perspective not only emphasizes the difference in lifestyle between blind and suddenly blind people but also further suggests the root cause of the difference in understanding and perceiving things between seeing and non-seeing. Therefore, I used this idea as an entry point for research and creative practice in this study. Using the institutional interior (from the movie) as an entry point, inspired by the Chinese children’s book Seven Blind Mice, the interior is deconstructed through the sense of touch, the way non-seeing people perceive the world, to create a liminal space.
