I like designing and creating structures using imagination. I also appreciate creative design, and I believe visually impaired people can participate in art and painting too, as long as they have the right accessible materials or tools.

I have two amazing descriptions of architecture, both from radio shows, that you remind me of here. One is from a radio dramatization of a Russian book called Solaris. The other is from a radio dramatization from Mike Walker that I think is called Omega, if I'm remembering the right one. Both I could find if that seems relevant here.

I'm high partial, so probably not the target audience, but I love architecture. It's not the same I realize, but find an architecture nerd who has the patience to describe all of these different styles to you and you'll know a lot more about them. There's tactile drawing boards, that would allow people to trace more complex images like buildings and skylines so that you could feel them, this would require someone with enough vision to do it, but is an option. You can also have someone 3-D print small scale, simple models of especially the outside structures of buildings so you could get a feel. Finally, my favorite method, start being the person who feels up a good structure. If you're not caressing a concrete pillar like it's your lover, are you really all that into architecture?

It is rare for me to track down radio plays by a specific person as a goal, but for him I did.

One warning if anyone goes looking for Solaris, the highest quality version I found on Youtube is a single long file but is not in order; it includes sections at the wrong times.
