 2 core ideas...

Design powerfully and profoundly inuences everyone and our sense of condence, comfort, and control. Varia@on in ability is ordinary, not special, and aects most of us for at least part of our lives.

www.HumanCenteredDesign.org

What is universal design inclusive design design-for-all?

a framework for the design of places, things, informa3on, communica3on and policy that focuses on the user, on the widest range of people opera3ng in the widest range of situa3ons without special or separate design

or

Human centered design (of everything) with everyone in mind

Three catalysts

#2 Disability

New condi6ons/rising incidence (e.g. diabetes, AIDS) Armed conict Natural disasters Children in poverty

Definition: The design of environments and products to be usable by all, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design.

August 29, 2011 | Chronicle What costs more: a home in San Francisco's Sunset District, or a wheelchair ramp in the Board of Supervisors' chambers? If you picked the house, you're wrong. By the time the final tab comes in, the cost of designing and installing a ramp to the president's chair at the Board of Supervisors - a project now under way - is expected to top out at $699,413. That is about $50,000 more than the median cost of a home in the Sunset.

From best practice to next practice

Good/Best v Next Practice: innovating to escape the status quo

Richard
Simmons

Good/best practice asks: what is working? Next practice asks: what could work more powerfully?

What is meant by Next Practice?

www.innova3onunit.org

Richard
Simmons

Next Practice, according to the UK Innovation Unit:

is aware of conventional good practice, its strengths and limitations; and explicitly sets out to take it to a new level or disrupt, profoundly evolve, or revolutionise it by implication, is conducted by very able, informed practitioners is located in an environment-scanning, needs-aware, futures-informed ethos, seeking out alternative expert perspectives is directed at serious, contemporary problems is not (yet) officially sanctioned or endorsed; and therefore does entail some risk is not a linear process is trialled in the field, then transferred to the mainstream

Sound like good, innovative design to you? It does to me!
