Enhancing this sensory immersive theme it may be perfect to have textiles hanging like textile artist Susan Lenz has explored, this will be especially ideal considering those who are blind.
Another less intrusive method would be sticking to the walls, much like this rope art displayed by Susan Beallor. This heavily textured element would really lend itself to aiding guiding people, giving another dimension to an average way-finding system.
Looking into different elements of textiles, contemporary tapestry art could be really effective although a really difficult thing to be able to produce a sample of, however like below, artist El Abatsui displays their work at the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art.

This more interactive form of tapestry I could recreate with other forms of collage in a similar fashion, as I'm going for the look as opposed to process, I'd rather it be a mismatch chaotic explosion of textures than a detailed precise piece as I want it to be as inclusive to the viewer as possible.
I'd rather construct this than any other mock up as it incorporates my love for textiles and enables me to have a go at a more hands on approach which will be stimulating for my own senses. This whole concept of moving away from the computer and having visually stimulating signals is a good means of stimulating those walking around the university, this will be especially useful for those who have creative block, waking up students' creative minds as soon as they walk in every morning.
