When dealing with the educational infrastructure debt, emphasis is usually placed on the quantitative deficit and little is said about how schools are architecturally designed. This article presents the strategies and the position I assumed in my final year project “Landscapes of learning” (2019), which proposed the design of an inclusive school for people with hearing impairment. The article focuses on two fundamental questions: how can architectural projects satisfy the needs of deaf children and how to surpass the limits of accessibility in our cities? In this respect, body learning, self-discovery and haptic stimuli are the basic design guidelines. Design questions the limits of accessibility inside the city, making the environment the connecting medium between public space and the city, between a minorities and society.
