Rediseño de la librería Continental, con énfasis en usuarios no videntes ubicado en Cuenca-Ecuador

Abstract

The redesign of the Librería Continental, located in Cuenca, focuses on accessibility for visually impaired individuals, based on the principles of universal design. The spaces are adapted to meet the needs of users with visual disabilities. Tactile and auditory symbols, such as the use of Braille and podotactile signage, are implemented to facilitate orientation within the space. Additionally, principles of ergonomics and appropriate use of color schemes are integrated to create an inclusive environment. The redesign employs a contemporary style, with a palette of warm colors and ergonomically adapted furniture. It considers both functional and aesthetic aspects, ensuring that the space provides well-being and comfort for all individuals, regardless of their visual abilities. The ultimate goal is to improve the quality of life of the bookstore’s users, particularly those with visual disabilities, offering them a more autonomous and comfortable shopping experience.
