LI Webinar: Designing for User Experience – mobility, sensory and neurological
Summary
What are we seeking to achieve when we design? Who are we designing for? Why design inclusively? What issues do people face? What are the things to avoid? What are the opportunities for design? These are just some of the questions that we will address during this lecture. Landscapes and urban realms provide many opportunities to positively impact communities and individuals who experience the world in diverse ways. We will go beyond thinking about physical access and look at how we might design mind friendly environments too. Embracing neurodiversity, navigation, diverse mobility, and sensory diversity provides plenty of design inspiration.
Learning outcomes:
- Learn why inclusive design is so essential
- Learn what designing inclusively entails
- Learn what to avoid and what to embrace in design
