“…Balancing nature and light sources in the interior must be considered according to the needs of the senses (Luis & Moncayo, 2018). Light's right features can positively affect the human body (Kanaani & Kopec, 2016). Natural lighting is used maximally, considering that building activities occur in the morning until noon.…”

Down syndrome is a trisomy genetic disorder resulting in cognitive delays in the fetus. Cognitive impairment in Down syndrome affects short-term memory and motor impairment due to the characteristic hypotonia of the muscles. People with Down syndrome tend to be visual learners. Through visuals, they are easier to remember and repeat. Visual memory in Down syndrome is better than auditory memory in receiving information. Therefore, the visual environment aspect is presented as a facility in architectural element designs to improve cognition, memory, and motor skills in the wayfinding orientation stimulus. Aspects of the visual environment are offered to stimulate the sensory vision repeatedly. Sensory architecture has a role in activating the body in receiving information, exploring the world, providing taste, and forming social relationships. This paper aims to discuss the design of the visual environment in stimulating the sensory vision of people with Down syndrome to facilitate wayfinding orientation. Visual environment design through colours, patterns, materials, and light are presented as tools to activate visual understanding in responding to and remembering wayfinding orientations. Aspects of the visual environment are communication and encouraging physical activity for users.

“…In designing buildings, for example, attention to performativity calls for approaches that "predates the post occupancy design considerations" and equips the building with "the potential to adjust itself to foreseen and unforeseen external contingencies" (Kanaani, 2015;Leatherbarrow, 2005).…”

“…The practise of Design for All makes conscious use of the analysis of human needs, aspirations and requires the involvement of end-users at every stage in the design process (Grangaard, 2016;Harrison et al, 2015). Asian countries are likely to be influenced by the United States, so Accessible Design was more broadly used as a more positive term than Barrier-Free Design; nonetheless, it is basically linked to legislated requirements (Fletcher, 2016). Thus, these concepts are considered similar to Universal Design, which significantly recognized in architecture through architectural regulations.…”

Becoming an Accessible City in developing countries has mitigating barriers as compared to developed countries. It is comprehensive to non-discriminate PwDs in access and facilities for equal opportunity. Accessibility legislation of different nations has various success in implementing and enforcing Universal Design through regulatory, government initiatives, and planning approaches. ASEAN developing nations have awareness and advocacy, because the fragmentary built environment, resulting in Accessible City concept that has not strived to expectation. Eliciting from interviews of access consultants and city planning regulations from London, Oslo, and Singapore. Conclusively, extraction of inclusion strategies is to be adapted for implementation in Malaysia.
