How architecture changes for the Deaf

[@lasagnahog7695]

A lot of this seems like solid design regardless of hearing capability. Wider hallways, more diffuse lightning, and the colors are pleasing and convenient, ramps are more comfortable and accessible for everyone, and U shaped classrooms (in my experience) are much more functional and intimate. If people put more effort into making buildings more accessible to different capabilities we would all benefit.

[@dananas9131]

+Eric Loesch *Thank You*

[@stephaniespence1]

Agreed.

[@HeatherSpoonheim]

+Eric Loesch Yup, yup, and yup. Also, at the core of this design is the question, "What is best for the users of this space?" rather than the mandate, "How can we cram the most people through this space."

[@genericscout5408]

+Eric Loesch That's why the renaissance buildings are so nice they were built with the people in mind. Reality is that we live in the age of budget cuts and downsizing. People cut corners to make more money that's what's defined our age, and the age before the rebirth. With kings and warlords.

[@daftrhetoric]

+Eric Loesch The design features treated by the video all seem appealing elements for more general application. I wonder if hearing people with ties to the deaf habituate better non-verbal communication. I've seen these features in buildings designed for the hearing, though only expensive ones. I suspect the balance of value is different; hearing design has more cases and so it more tightly conforms to greater (and less friendly) financial efficiency.

[@iLOVEpicklesBRO28]

The fact that they not only made the school, but made it astoundingly beautiful is so lovely

[@JMJackMcNally]

I have to admit, the transparency aspect is pretty damn smart.

[@AntonioHeckstall]

It works too. I go to Gallaudet and every building is like this. It's amazing how much DeafSpace has changed my life.

[@adenaroth369]

JM Jack McNali instead of eavesdropping your interpreting your friends signing in another room to find and spill tea

[@lanewalp8727]

I'm glad you were able to admit it JM

[@bellelavictorie61]

The fascinating part of this all is that advantages for the deaf can be effectively applied to industries that require hearing protection or in situations that loud noises overpower conversation. By building industrial facilities without the need to hear, we can make them considerably safer for workers in general.

[@cassidyeckman717]

Belle La Victorie I originally learned sign language for my hard of hearing grandmother, but have since used it to communicate with headphones in or in loud public space because I hate yelling

[@shadebug]

Without being deaf, I can imagine it would be really annoying for the deaf viewers to see a guy signing and then have him cut out mid sentence like that.

[@Tombee2]

do deaf people even watch people sing.

[@shadebug]

From what I understand, lifelong deaf people understand sign language much better than written English

[@ItsThatSheep]

There is captions (idk why im replying to a year old comment)

[@yonaholic]

Well, captions are an option. And ya know, not all deaf people know sign language.

[@Tombee2]

@@aslanmonn86 deaf* 4 years later I type and spell just a little better...

[@BlaneGranstaff]

The rounded corners in hallways is one of my favorite architectural designs for deaf space and it went unmentioned. This allows someone who is deaf to more confidently turn a corner without worry they will run into someone because they are able to see around the corner sooner than if the corner were sharp.

[@John-uw2je]

I'm not deaf but the lighting and architechture looks pleasing to the eye, I would love to live in a less eye-straining environment.

[@JaredHagen]

This channel is so underrated.

[@magnushmann]

+Jared Hagen This channel makes mistakes. Big ones. I think it is rated alright for what it is.

[@JaredHagen]

+Belle La Victorie any examples?

[@magnushmann]

Jared Hagen I think he is a troll, judging by other comments.

[@ScripterMega]

+Jared Hagen Not really. A good video on Vox is one in a hundred. Rest of the videos are crazy conspiracy theories regarding politics and the like.

[@EstefaniaTrujilloPreciado]

Loved the video, but @vox I would like for you guys to have not cut off the guy when he was signing. As someone who knows ASL I believe it takes away from the story you were trying to show. But other than that great video!

[@Heyimvalarie18]

I was thinking the same :)

[@AntonioHeckstall]

Same here. A lot of hearing interviewers do that to us. It's sad.

[@Hellooooooohiiiii]

Estefania Trujillo Preciado if it helps there are subtitles aswell !

[@qwertyTRiG]

@@Hellooooooohiiiii That means that the Deaf audience have to read an interpretation into English, instead of having access to the original information in their own language.

[@crunchu2361]

Growing up with deaf parents, I feel quite strongly about the care for the deaf. Deaf people are humans too and fantastic intellectual humans. We need to allow these people to thrive in our world.

[@6Twisted]

Great design in general that even us non-deaf people could benefit from.

[@GpD79]

The guy in this video is extremely good looking. I love his facial expressions too :-)

[@TheBc99]

+GpD79 So true! He has that spark in his eyes that makes you hang on to his every sign. :D

[@yyxlovesyoualways]

In the use of sign language, the use of non manual signs (often facial expressions) is very important. It's used to add to the severity of words as well as add punctuation to sentences. For example, instead of signing -would you like some?- it's -you want- with raised eyebrows for the question mark.

[@GpD79]

Yang Yang Xue Ahh... very interesting. Thanks for the additional info!

[@Heyimvalarie18]

+Yang Yang Xue very good :) it also comes naturally to the deaf also :) hearing have to work on it surprisingly, it's harder for a lot of them haha.

Im in love with their peacefullness. I like everything quiet and im not even deaf. I love peace everywhere. Its so soothing and healing.

[@connorguercio6123]

Taking ASL & learning about the culture is amazing. Gallaudet University is a great facility as well. I recommend everyone learn to sign.

[@ColainaCup]

This is what Architect's need to learn; to listen, yes I get the pun, but deaf people can LISTEN just as well) to different perspectives from people who perceive space differently. There are elements in this video that can teach an architect to think more thoroughly, to design for people.

[@pongop]

Yes! Universal design benefits everyone

[@kabaktatls]

I'm in my first year in architecture school and I always rewatch this video whenever I need to get motivated.

[@personalitybot]

These seem like good general principles for designing very nice spaces.

[@alixnight5318]

Jason Newell Optimally good design is always important but often bigger spaces and special accommodations for deaf people that aren't necessarily for the average person are unnecessary costs that the company commissioning a building does not want to pay.

[@LilyMeadeBooks]

In addition to accessibility, this method of design is something that thrives on and encourages community. I really love the connection and involvement that is prioritized in every design choice here.

[@poundlandvodka]

The open spaces, reflective surfaces and emphasis on transparency strike me as being really useful for autistic people and others who experience sensory overwhelm, because they offer more direct awareness of the space around you.

[@marksmadhousemetaphysicalm2938]

Even without hearing difficulties...this is just smart design...we are primarily a visual species...no doubt hearing is an important sense to us...but we rely on vision first...this kind of design should be everywhere...

[@kimtaylor7459]

am I the only who who thought that this video should have zero sound and only subtitles as a way to show just how the world really is built around people who can hear.

[@Lireoec]

Makes me wanna learn a sign language.

[@AudoricArt]

+Lireoec it's surprisingly easy! well, the signing at least. finger spelling is a whole other monster.

[@MrTedjamable]

+Dori C BSL is not all that different to ASL (which I presume you are talking about), and I found the contrary! The fingerspelling was a small challange to get over, but as soon as the jist of it has been taken, its easy and really repetitive!! With the words and conversation though, its not so much 'what' the sign is, but more 'how' are you going to sign that word in the conversation; if its a sunny day and you are signing about the sun, it would make more sence to point at the sun rather thanthe word. Therefore there are no specific set 'dictionaries' (you can find sign lexicons on the internet) so that way, it makes it more difficult to learn specific words- but that being said most of them are cognates so is easy to pick up when conversing with someone more experienced in SL. To learn about sign language, the internet is a good place to start. Or try check at your local collage that runs evening classes for (your equivlent of the UK) Sign Language level one course. Its great.Do it!

[@Arkylie]

The interesting thing about ASL, for me, was that while a lot of it is arbitrary like any other language, a lot of it is NOT arbitrary. Spoken languages can't really say "box" in a way that non-native-speakers will understand almost instantly, but sign language sure can! And while the symbol for "vehicle" is kinda arbitrary, using it to indicate a variety of vehicles connects them together so you get the sense even if you don't know the specifics, while words like Car, Van, Truck don't have any connection in English. Signs for males are all in the same male space (top half of head), signs for females in the same space (bottom half of head). Similarly, some parts of ASL work a bit like pantomime, for example when you indicate two participants in the conversation and shift your body weight to indicate what one person does or the other one does. Or when you indicate the movement of a car via using the vehicle symbol and drawing it. Or how you tilt your head back when indicating directions, to show how far of a distance (relative to other distances you're talking about), or tuck your chin for a near distance; to indicate sizes you can scrunch your body a bit to show teenier, or spread out for larger. And you don't look at the signs so much as the overall torso view, so you get a view of the whole body in motion, and the expressions at the same time. It's a very expressive language. I highly recommend giving it a go even if you don't get very far -- it'll give you a bit of perspective that differs from spoken languages.

[@masterimbecile]

+Dori C I thought that finger spelling is tough, but here's how I practice: I try to spell out my home address, my car type, and license plates are really great ways of practicing, especially for big numbers and for when numbers and letters are mixed. Phone numbers are great too.

[@Arkylie]

You can turn anything into a finger-spelling exercise. Read a Dr. Seuss book and finger-spell along. Try the lyrics to you favorite songs. Work on a second language and finger-spell vocabulary terms (compared to trying to learn two spoken languages at the same time, it's pretty simple to learn a second language at the same time as ASL -- they don't overlap as much, and you don't confuse the words but rather get this sort of synergy going where you have motions for each spoken word, and words for most of the motions).

[@lilililililililililililililily]

awesome video and topic, Nyle DiMarco came to sign at my school recently and he mentioned going to Gallaudet. But he also mentioned how some deaf people (for example, in other countries or w diff economic status) aren't aware there even is a university for them. Vox making this video brings more awareness about deaf culture 👍🏼

[@gdcompton1920]

I would love a city designed like this! Blues and greens are soothing as it the softer lighting. This is a beautiful campus. I have always loved the U shaped design in conference rooms because everyone does feel included.

[@chevvy427]

I love the amount of thought put into this, they even considered the colour of the furniture to reduce eyestrain. There is so much to gain by considering people's different lives experiences when designing spaces.

[@madiemaelou]

I'm not deaf but have issues with hearing/sound in addition to abysmal eyesight that requires A LOT of assistance/correction, AND THIS BUILDING WOULD BE A DREAM. This kind of design wouldn't just benefit the deaf/HOH community but also those with vision problems as well. Stairs suck when your depth perception is off so ramps would be amazing. The idea of contrasting furniture and defused light also would be super freaking helpful. The ability to function in a space where I could actually freaking see the things I needed to see would be AMAZING. I wish more spaces were designed with this in mind because it would make so many lives a million times easier.

[@yonaholic]

Thanks for the essay.

[@meghanhughes6586]

[@mksabourinable]

It's interesting because my college's newer buildings and sections all have these exact layouts and structures, and even hearing people benefit from it.

[@animalzblc8960]

kind of ironic that the deaf people get the most badass music ive heard from vox

[@gustavosaito1605]

Quando você não sofre de nenhum tipo de deficiência, é difícil imaginar a quantidade de coisas incomodas que tornam o dia dessas pessoas mais difícil. Adorei a abordagem desse tema, eu como estudante de arquitetura posso dizer que, pelo menos onde estudo, dificilmente é discutido acessibilidade para pessoas além dos cadeirantes e cegos. O mais impressionante é ver como algumas dessas soluções são absurdamente simples. Congratulation Vox, for making another great video. Simple, efficient and pleasant to watch. Keep the awesome work.

[@ilkeryoldas]

You should also make changes for the blind.. I know grooves on the sidewalk are one but any others?

[@CopyOfMe]

+ilker yoldas I think buildings for blind people have special acoustics, you know, walls and ceilings making sounds more clear and able to travel farther, to help people to realise where they are in space, and where other people and objects are. And of course things making noises, such as elevators announcing the floor and stuff. My school's doors makes a clicking sound whenever somebody gets close to it when it's locked. I don't know if it's made for blind people to realise the door is closed, but it works for them regardless.

[@Karuiko]

My vision sucks. My school's heaters actually make a fair amount of sound, so I can actually use those to know where people are around me. So maybe something like a type of white noise for seeing?

[@Arkylie]

As long as it doesn't make a noticeable white noise that impacts people in general. I'm getting more and more sensitive to white noise as I get older. And I notice more and more the types of noise we get hit with all the time -- even when using the computer, with nothing playing through the headphones or speakers, there's still noise there. Makes me long to get out and hike more, just to get away from mechanical fuzz and hums.

[@Karuiko]

***** Still going to be the noise of the wind and trees.

[@Arkylie]

While I understand it's impossible to escape noise altogether, there's a qualitative difference between the noise of nature (wind is rarely constant, for one) and the noise of machinery (which is usually constant, to the point where the brain learns to ignore them -- which I worry about, honestly). I suppose if I were in nature all the time, I might think the same thing and want to enjoy city sounds for a while :)

[@outsidesman]

Vox, you are amazing. I wish you were a TV channel!

[@TobyKidMajor]

Learning sign and communicating with deaf people is such a fun way to explore language and learn about culture.

[@Arkylie]

The part that made me sit up and take closer notice of the rest of the video was the first shot of the balcony -- because I suddenly realized how huge it would be to have clear balconies, and how much more easily you can communicate long-distance via signing than via speech. Largely because the streams don't cross -- signing doesn't interfere with OTHER signing, like speech does with other speech. The details here were pretty awesome, some of them obvious and others not. Wow.

[@cacauldr]

I enjoyed this positive, vibrant video. Nice camera work too.

[@bootswithfur2106]

I love the signer he's beautiful

[@sy01mamabear83]

This is so wonderful! Marvelous! They did a great job at not just making it transparent and walking accessable, but also took into account the lighting so it isn't intense and people can concentrate better. I hadn't thought of that aspect before. We have been trying to teach my child simple beginning signing for kids, because I think it is a good idea even if we can hear, we can maybe be able to understand and help someone else someday. I think it would be great if public schools in our area or nation wide could implement a signing class, and not only teach Spanish as a secondary language.

[@harshbrownes]

I used to work near Gallaudet Univ. making pizza. I learned how to sign enough to communicate what kind of pizza they wanted. It was a blast.

[@joebroughton2913]

I feel that a majority of the alienation that deaf and disabled people experience is not created from their disability itself but the difficulty they feel in an environment designed for the average, fully able person

[@OrangeF1zz]

This is so cool! I love architecture for accessibility. I think that hearing people (like me) should take the time to learn about Deaf culture and understand that our way of experiencing the world is simply different, not superior.

[@AlexSchemery]

I almost went to college there as a hearing student! When I went on a tour they explained a lot of cool stuff. For example, they told us about deaf alarm clocks. You put a thing that vibrates strongly under your mattress on a timer so it’ll wake you up. Our guide told us there was one student who always slept through his alarm and the vibrations bothered people in dorm rooms near him, haha. They showed us a doorknob from the old doors that you would pull to use like a knocker. It was so heavy it would vibrate the floors so people would feel that there was someone at the door. Similarly, the benches seen at 1:20 are one big piece of wood so if someone on one side of the bench wants to get the attention of someone on the other side, they can bang on the bench so the other person can feel it. The school is also designed for the visually impaired as well through stuff like putting pebble-like floors on places you shouldn’t walk like between ramps and walls so you can feel it with a cane. There was so much more but I don’t remember it all :( dead culture seen though architecture is so genius and cool, I love it !!

I wonder how deaf people have dealt with emergencies, only until recently have we been able to text 911, but only in certain cities.

[@Melissa0774]

+R0Y4L KN1GHT I don't know if people still use them, but they used to have special phones called a TTY. It's a computer that acts as a phone, where you type what you say. They had them at least as far back as the '80's. You can only use them to call places that have them and they have a separate phone number. Government agencies and other important places people need to call, usually have them. There's also relay services, which are internet based services where you initiate a phone call through a website and a live operator actually says everything you type and types everything the other person said.

[@Heyimvalarie18]

+Melissa0774 they're still used on occasion :)

[@dmcmanus9437]

R0Y4L KN1GHT also if you dial 911 they can triangulate where you are and they may dispatch someone if they think it's a real call. Not necessarily an option for just deaf people but everyone in a situation where they can dial but can't talk

[@erikastewart940]

I’m from Sonoma County where we just had those big fires earlier this year and I’m taking ASL and my professor said that sadly her family and the other deaf families in the community were the last to be evacuated and some barely escaped. The fires started while they were sleeping and there was no way to hear the emergency calls, fire alarms, or even people yelling outside. A lot of emergency situation policies leave the deaf community out and need to adapt to be more inclusive and efficient.

This - this is how you get around physical disabilities (while you still have deaf gain, you have a net loss). You make dedicated species for the disabled that allows them to truly, truly function as well as someone w/o the disability, and then in the rest of the world you slowly start to implement those changes. You can't change the whole world to accommodate the disabilities, so instead you have spaces to pioneer those spaces and then implement those changes into the rest of the world.

[@klearn199]

Interesting! This video made me think about, if the culture of deaf people is actually something, someone should experience. I mean, I always thought that deafness is a kind of impairment, which we can luckily be fixed today with cochlear implants and other therapies. I have never understood why people don't want to hear. I think this is similar than trying to explain color to a blind person. I will never know, that it feels like not to hear.

[@Hxrb]

Wow. Never thought about this!

[@treelife365]

I've always been interested in architecture for the blind. Technology and all the screens we now have kind of fit in perfectly in a deaf world... And so it seems that the blind are the ones being ignored. That said, it is obviously easier for a blind person to communicate with anyone without the use of technology.

[@raynaketchum5617]

I love the look and feel of the space and I agree with everyone saying that the design really benefits us all. Unfortunately, as a former teacher, I keep thinking about everything that we're taught about potential shooters. Opaque windows, open spaces, rounded corners, and mirrors mean there are less places for people to hide if there was a shooter. I hate the idea of building based on the expectation of a mass shooter but its our reality in the US.
