Sensory park designed to stimulate senses of elderly and disabled
From monstersandcritics.com (14 Dec 2007):
A Japanese-inspired sensory park to be built in Singapore will be filled with sweet-smelling flowers designed to appeal to the elderly and Braille signs describing the plants for the blind, news reports said on Friday.
Scheduled for completion in the first quarter of 2009, the 1.1- hectare pilot park near housing for many of Singapore’s elderly is planned to include water features, sculptures to touch and pavement to create special sounds.
The Housing Development Board engaged Miyake, who pioneered the concept in Japan, to work with with an architectural firm to create a sensory park in the city-state, the report said.
