Tactile Maps – Inclusive Design
CRA developed a tactile map
vocabulary to introduce architectural spaces and sites.

Part of inclusive design programs our tactile maps and orientation diagrams address all visitors, including those with limited or no vision. Strategically located, they are designed to stand alone, or to be integrated into directories.

Our inclusive designs use glass, metal, or photopolymer.
