博客來Revamping the concepts of Universal Design and Design for All for a more participatory, community-based design practice
Can design cater to a diverse society? How does it respond to the disparate demands of the people using it? Since the 1980s, debates about inclusion and participation have been an important part of the design discourse. Today’s design approaches expand on the concepts of Universal Design and Design for All, reinterpreting them in a community-based, participatory design practice. Design for All? Inclusive Design Today gathers together a variety of recent projects, initiatives and concepts drawn from different design disciplines, and sets up a dialogue with an international cohort of teachers and researchers. Dealing with a range of different voices in inclusive design strategies, from feminism to postcolonialism, this book is part of a paradigm shift that radically questions society’s normative values.
