Episode Synopsis

How can we both capture, and design for, the richness of human bio and neurodiversity rather than for standardized or conventional users?  In this second episode of Universal Design and… we get into the practical methods of how we can design more inclusively and how non-disabled people can develop their understanding of non-conventional bodies and minds as a positive factor rather than as an assumed problem for design processes.  Read full episode description and transcript here: https://kglakademi.dk/da/blog-post/episode-2-universal-design-and-bodies-buildings-spacesParticipants: Jos Boys (Guest professor at the Royal Danish Academy 2022-25 and  co-director of The Disordinary Architecture Project), Marcus Aminaka Wilmont (fashion designer and educator, Royal Danish Academy), Olga Popovic Larsen (architect and educator, Royal Danish Academy) Roberta Cassi (architect and researcher, Royal Danish Academy) Adam Linden Neilsen (research and teaching assistant, Royal Danish Academy) Masashi Kajita (research cluster lead, architect and educator, Royal Danish Academy).
