De Tekentafel: How do you design for everyone?
In De Tekentafel, journalist Niels Guns talks to different guests each month about the power of design in solving social issues. How do you get the most out of a process with designers, what is a successful collaboration and what can it offer an organisation? We find out for you in De Tekentafel, a collaboration between Eindhoven Design District and World Design Embassies.
Podcast 17: How do you design for everyone?
Much of the world and the stuff and spaces we use are designed for the Reference man: a white man, about 1.75m tall and about 80 kilos. And our world is tuned, tested and built for him. What does that mean for the world we live in? And how can we design for different bodies and so that everyone belongs? Karin Fischnaller of Studio The Others developed an installation that visualises guidelines for inclusivity. Séverine Kas is committed to an inclusive world from her background as an architect, process facilitator and creative booster on the one hand and experience expert on the other. With designer Wouter Corvers, we discuss various projects around inclusion.
