Abstract:
Inclusive Design has been widely promoted in the fields of product, engineering, and user experience design. Despite the educational efforts made by scientists, practitioners, and institutions to raise awareness about accessibility and inclusion, Inclusive Design has not been widely embraced in architectural design practice, where it is often associated with design for disability. This multidisciplinary study, spanning behavioural science, ergonomics, and the social sciences of architecture, explores the challenges architectural design practitioners face when designing inclusively, and identifies opportunities to promote the adoption of Inclusive Design. The results of a questionnaire completed by 114 architectural design practitioners underscore the lack of client awareness of the benefits of inclusive design, highlight the important role practitioners can play in advocating for Inclusive Design, and emphasize the need to develop practices and tools that enhance the design and post-design phases of buildings to ensure inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility.
摘要:
包容性设计在产品领域得到广泛推广,工程,和用户体验设计。尽管科学家做出了教育努力,从业者,和机构提高对可访问性和包容性的认识,包容性设计在建筑设计实践中尚未被广泛接受,通常与残疾设计有关。这项多学科研究,跨越行为科学,人体工程学,和建筑社会科学,探索建筑设计从业者在包容性设计时面临的挑战,并确定促进采用包容性设计的机会。由114名建筑设计从业者完成的问卷调查结果强调了客户对包容性设计的好处缺乏认识,强调从业者在倡导包容性设计方面可以发挥的重要作用,并强调需要开发实践和工具,以加强建筑物的设计和后设计阶段,以确保包容性,多样性,股本,和可访问性。
