City Models of Berlin1:2000 Scale "Talking Tactile Model of Berlin" With the tactile model of Berlin urban spaces and buildings of the inner city can be detected by touch.  Commissioned by the Senate Department for Urban Development and the Environment, the "Faculty of Modelling and Design of the Institute for Architecture" of the TU Berlin Technical University developed this exemplary tactile model together with a team of people with disabilities. In addition to the sensory experience of touching the contours of the city model, over 150 points of interest can also be explored acoustically or in typeface with the help of state-of-the-art technology. In order to make Berlin and its public spaces accessible to everyone, not only in city models but also in real life, the two brochures "Berlin – Design for all – Öffentlich zugängliche Gebäude und Öffentlicher Freiraum" (Berlin - Design for all - Publicly accessible buildings and public space) elaborate the fundamental design aspects of a barrier-free city.
