This online Inclusive Spaces event will explore the voices, experiences and designs of D/deaf creatives within architectural practice, pedagogy and research.
D/deafness is under-represented in architecture and built environment education, research and practice.
The representation of deaf students, educators and professionals in the field continues to be small, and spatial scholarship still largely overlooks the multiple intersections of D/deafness and the built environment.
In this online Inclusive Spaces event, we will explore the voices, experiences and designs of D/deaf creatives and highlight critical considerations of deafness within architectural practice, pedagogy and research.
A panel of professionals, educators and scholars will discuss how design can be a catalyst for greater diversity and equity in society.
We will explore the ways that university education can encourage collaboration between architecture students and D/deaf people and foreground the contribution of deaf practitioners in architectural histories to help us re-think the present and future of design.
