on the microscale they have explored teaching arrangements and space characteristics for different activities, particularly those required to support communication; on the macroscale they have considered how the academy can redefine itself, creating a critical mass for deaf learning, living and culture, while offering opportunities for integration, exchange and synergy with the larger hearing community.
