Some time ago I wrote a chapter on the importance of the questions we ask in architectural design processes. In the context of inclusivity and universal design, questions can help uncover hidden biases in architecture and help align expectations. The chapter is free to download if you follow the link below.
Ever wondered how to seamlessly integrate universal design into your architectural practice? This chapter attempts to clarify the concept of universal design by developing a list of guiding questions that can be used in architectural practices. This list consists of frequently asked questions (FAQ) in design processes and how an alternative to such questions could look like if we put on our universal design glasses. The aim is to help you towards an alternative way of structuring your design practice when possible. The chapter is written by Marie Christoffersen Gramkow, Marcus Tang Merit, Masa Kajita and Ulrika Stigsdotter, members of the Bevica Foundation's interdisciplinary research network.
