Neurodiverse friendly architecture: Thursday 26 January 2023
Join us for a conversation hearing from inspirational architects and academics who are neurodiverse. Find similarities or deepen understanding on the challenges and superpowers of our experiences in learning & practicing architecture. Whether you’re neurodiverse or not, join the conversation to build understanding and help kickstart much needed awareness.
We’ll be hearing from students, architects and academics, ranging from differing scales of practice from across the UK. We’ll also be joined by Jean Hewitt, an expert in standards for Neurodiverse design.
Everyone is welcome to join our conversation. We endeavour to be a non-hierarchical, value driven group in pursuit of Equity, Diversity & Inclusion in architecture. The discussions take place under Chatham House rules, to safeguard all who participate.
A Zoom link will be sent 24 hours before the event.
(When booking in, please state clearly your name & place of work/university. For security reasons, any anonymous identities will not be able to participate).
