Objectives
Because a number of the CNLB client group was visually impaired, we were required to rethink our consultation methods. Presentation required tactile and auditory communication. The focus of communication shifted from visual aids to models, tactile plans and diagrams, Braille, mock-ups,large samples, and spoken word.
设计目标
由于盲人协会的客户群大部分为视力不佳的人，我们需要重新思考我们的设计方案。方便人们所需的触觉和听觉的沟通。交流的重点焦点也就从视力辅助设备转移到模型，纹理丰富的设计和图表，盲文，模拟UPS，大样本，和口语词等相关元素上。

Glare decreases visibility and places strain on the eyes, and indoor light was to be commensurate with daylight. Miky translucent wall panels were used in place of glass to minimize glare. A central two-storey space, housing the café and open stairs, brings natural light into the core and spine of the building and provides orientation within the building.
眩光会对人的视力健康造成伤害，那么室内的光线就要达到与日光一样的柔和舒适。设计中，乳白色半透明墙板被用来代替玻璃减少眩光，有效缓解了强烈的光线。中心的两层结构空间，咖啡座和开放的楼梯，将自然光引入建筑的中心位置，提供建筑物内的定位，成为了室内布局的亮点。

The highest level of accessibility was essential for the CNIB. Making use of the drastic grade change of the 4-acre site, the CNIB features two ground floors, maximizing accessibility. A central circulation spine locates program areas along both sides. Boundaries, paths, and destinations are defined through texture, colour, and acoustical changes.
最高等级便捷性与流通性是该建筑必不可少的。利用该占地4英亩的坡度变化激烈的空间改造成平缓的二层空间，大大提升了人们使用的便捷性。中心小道两侧区域定位程序。边界，路径，和目的地是通过定义纹理，颜色，和声学的变化。

Designing for all senses, the gardens are most spectacular, each with a unique personality, scent and mood: the Fragrant Garden on the east with its planning, seating and water feature; the boisterous western terrace with its wide views; and the north Shade Garden on the ravine’s edge.
所有的感官设计，花园是最壮观的，每一个独特的个性，气味和情绪：对其规划东香园，座位和水特征；西面的露台视野开阔；北面的绿荫花园则紧邻山谷边缘，风景迷人。特色元素的运用保证了建筑的环保生态和持续性。

Other results and benefits achieved
The CNIB achieved a high level of sustainability through features such as:
Site conservation (on-site storm water management ,50% preservation of natural site , ravine protection , relocation of native plant material)
Water conservation (low consumption, no irrigation)
Building form and orientation (maximization of natural light ,reduced amount of exposed exterior wall improving efficiency)
Building materials (insulated wall system , low E glass , high quality window shading ) allow for increased energy conservation
Window louvers
Efficient outdoor air handling and modulation
High efficiency atmospheric boilers
Gas fired humidifiers and burners (efficiency 83%)
User comfort and accessibility was of utmost concern and the interior features include:
Natural ventilation
Abundance of natural light brought in through the two-storey space facilitating user orientation
Occupancy sensors in low use rooms
Zoned switching in the library
Dimming systems in meeting rooms
Larger workstations
Low pile carpet for better mobility
Circulation routes and paving demarcated with both texture and colour contrast
Safety Features
Ultra low energy LED exit lights
Night and emergency lighting of all ramps and stairs
Aside from having two main floors which allows for dual height accessibility , the CNIB sets new standards and surpasses the highest level of barrier free accessibility , with additional features such as:
Direct TTC and Wheeltrans access and a generous , covered drop off area
Audible pedestrian signals, detectable warning strips, and ramped curbs
A dog relief area
South overhang which shades south-facing glass, reducing glare and heat
Tactile and talking maps and signage
Slow strobe emergency system
The building sits like a sentinel atop the impressive embankment overlooking Bayview Avenue and the wild deciduous and pine ravine. A model of universal accessibility, the CNIB Centre is home to CNIB’s operations in Canada. With its contemporary, elegant design , and filled with remarkable sights, textures, sound and light ,the building is also one of Toronto’s newest and most extraordinary event venues, and is now a participant of Doors Open Toronto
