Project Description:
In the 5-day value-added course on Universal Design at Pillai HOC College of Architecture, students embarked on a transformative journey of learning, self-awareness, and empathy, exploring the vital role of designers in creating universally accessible spaces.
Through hands-on activities and interactive sessions, they challenged preconceived notions about accessibility and inclusivity, gained a deeper understanding of the lived experiences of individuals with disabilities, and developed sensitivity toward the importance of respectful language and universal design principles.
Their key takeaways reflected a strengthened commitment to inclusive design, a willingness to embrace challenges, and a dedication to growing as empathetic and responsible professionals.
