"Talking signs. Tactile floors. Translucent wall systems that let light in.A technologically advanced, universally accessible...building that guides people through it...As they traverse the building, tactile 3-D Braille signs with speakers will tell them where they are. Dark borders edging a bone-coloured tile floor will highlight where floor turns to wall. "
