“Sensopolis” is born, a new multi sensorial park.

The multi sensorial Park “Sensopolis” of Cosenza is finally a reality. The signature of the convention between Province and Italian Union of Blind and Short sighted officialised the opening of the new facility annexed to the Ipa “Todaro”, in contrada Lacone in Rende. The Park covers an area of  five hectares (of which 400 squared meters covered) and its suggests olfactory and auditive paths merged in the nature: a project that aims at stimulating the senses in a new way, by recovering the perceptive function. A place, in fact, where the accessibility and the integration are fully accomplished: no barriers and no limits of aggregation, the park will be accessible to all the community, in perfect harmony with nature and technology. It deals with a complex “bio-architectonic” in which the building elements, highly specialized, are of a natural kind and where technology becomes a structural and innovative component. There have also been put on a chromatic walking and an olfactory path, made of heady scents that drive and stimulate olfaction and fantasy. The director of the Italian Union of Blind himself, Pino Bilotti, underlined that “Sensopolis” is a place built to allow to people with sense or motor disability to enjoy new experiences, through a new way to conceive space. From now on also the province of Cosenza will be able to welcome initiatives and events in a special place, promoting culture and aggregation for children, adolescents and elderly.
