Sheltered Workshops for the Blind
In the late 1960s I worked for what was then the Ministry of Public Building and Works (later to become the Department of the Environment) as a research and development programmer. Among the projects I was involved with were: - A Ministry study of the availability and suitability of office and conference space in Central London
Research into the design of Prison Workshops to reduce recidivism - An analysis of behavioural conflict and safety in public housing
The design of office furniture for use in Burolandschaft office planning. Sheltered Workshops for the Blind
In this latter project, I worked as a supervising tutor to Neville Longbone and Steven Mendes, who were completing their final year th the Kingston Polytechnic. The project involved detailed analysis of the problems of mobility encountered by the blind, and their ways of adapting to the environment. This was followed by the development of a programme for sheltered workshops in which the aim was for the blind to have total independent mobility. Patterns of behaviour-form relations, and blind mobility adaptations.
