다감각적 전시 디자인을 통한 접근성 강화 연구

Background: Accessibility in conventional exhibitions has focused largely on sensory substitution and supplemental information. Particularly, tactile-centered approaches have compensated for limited visual perception, yet such methods tend to evaluate accessibility based on equivalent outcomes rather than restructuring the experience itself. This study explores how multimodal exhibition design can fundamentally strengthen accessibility. Methods: This study employed literature review, case investigation, and field-based opinion collection. Literature review examined the relationship between accessibility and exhibition design, identifying limitations of tactile-centered approaches. Three domestic and international multisensory exhibition cases were analyzed focusing on sensory configuration, visitor participation, and modes of delivery. Additionally, an interview with a disability education educator was conducted to contextualize findings within practical settings. However, given the single-participant limitation, the interview served as supplementary reference rather than verification data. This process reassessed tactile-centered approaches and identified how multisensory exhibition design can enhance accessibility. Results: Three exhibition cases demonstrated how multisensory design enhances accessibility: Social Viewing (Mori Art Museum) through collective dialogue, Tilted Bodies (MMCA) through embodied spatial experience, and Songs That Have Reached Here (Arko Art Center) through parallel sensory channels. These cases positioned sensory engagement as foundational conditions rather than supplementary aids. Field interview suggested that retrofitted accessibility has structural limitations, though this insight serves as supplementary reference given the single-participant constraint. Conclusion:This study reframes accessibility as a principle of experience formation rather than a compensatory function. Multimodal exhibition design expands experiential conditions and can substantively enhance accessibility when integrated from the outset of design. Future research will refine practical approaches through expert consultation and collaboration with disability communities.
