Send us a textColm sits down with return guests Annie and Ricky Pollock to talk design. Design is one of the major pillars at HammondCare’s Dementia Centre and this episode is a revealing look as to why that might be.  Annie and Ricky were last on the show for the episode Talking Design: Air Quality, Acoustics and Dementia. In the episode Ricky and Annie talk about their road to architecture and what made accessible design their passion and focus. Annie expounds on her many years of experience in designing smart and immersive outside spaces – more from Annie can be found in her free book, A Breath of Fresh Air. In addition, Ricky speaks about the relationship between the outside and inside space and the legibility of the building and more.  They also speak to the practicalities of the push and pull in conversations of design, of minimum standards and about what to keep in mind when designing accessible spaces. If you’d like more on accessible design we’d love for you to check out one of our previous episodes, Talking Design: Why it can ‘provoke’ behaviour with Liz Fuggle and Meredith Gresham. In addition, you can also purchase the book, Designing Outdoor Spaces for People with Dementia edited by Mary Marshall and Annie Pollock.
