“Inclusive Design Across the Built Environment”
Rooted in a critique of designer-centric practice and embracing an ethic of social responsibility, Inclusive Design (or Universal Design) focuses on developing form from function to increase the usefulness and responsiveness of our world for a wider and more diverse range of people. This presentation will provide an overview of the Inclusive Design paradigm. It introduces the goals and knowledge bases, methods of implementation and evaluation, and best practice examples.
