Assignment 1 : Blindfold Walk
Feeling of being very lost during the first part of the experience
In the first five minutes I haven’t mastered the different ways of finding my way around like the listening to the echo when doing some noises
During the second part I was more able to orient myself by learning how to listen and I was more able to find my way
Find it easier to orient in a space when there is constant sources of noises because it define almost material elements and boundaries in the surroundings

In an outside this helps to locate buildings whose facades act as screens.
