A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Inclusive Design is Much More Than the Opposite of Exclusive Design
For the last 30 years, designers and researchers have been discussing and practicing a design with the concern of not excluding anyone, or at least including the largest possible number of users, always with their participation throughout the process: it became known as Inclusive Design. All projects that do not meet these principles are now considered exclusive. However, the vision, culture, strategies, quality requirements and the inherent needs of a socially responsible design have been changing in recent years. Developing inclusive design products and services has become a challenge not only for designers but for all stakeholders involved in the process, requiring greater knowledge of methodologies to be used, processes, tools and procedures. The present document intends to be a call for attention to the issue, based on our personal experience as a designer and researcher, with the main objective of discussing and reflecting on basic and fundamental concepts inherent to Inclusive Design.
