Toward a Human-centered Design Practice
In partnership with the Hideo Sasaki Foundation, Sasaki welcomed three renowned speakers and leaders in disability rights and design to discuss human-centered design in the built environment with an audience of 160+.
Human-centered design goes beyond ADA compliance and focuses on each person’s unique experiences and sensory responses in buildings, landscapes, and cities. Sasaki was thrilled to welcome Ben Perez, UC Berkeley’s Physical Access Compliance Manager, Hansel Bauman, founding partner of HB/a+p and former Gallaudet University Campus Architect, and Chris Downey, principal at Architecture for the Blind, to explore different approaches to designing with a disability.
