Equitable Futures – Special Focus Session

2022 AIA/ACSA Intersections Research Conference: RESILIENT FUTURES

Description: 

This panel will explore what equity means through the lens of accessible and universal design.

Spatial equity and inclusivity will be highlighted and evaluated from the viewpoint of the academy as well as in practice.

Learning objectives

  • Explore the techniques for improving the inclusivity of design critiques in academia and practice.
  • Discover and unpack the term "spatial justice" and how architects can use project-work to respond to this idea and improve inclusivity in the process.
