We discussed architecture, inclusive design, and accessibility through the lens of vision loss and blindness. We specifically addressed retinal conditions, such as retinal detachments and retinitis pigmentosa. We also covered blindness, Charles Bonnet syndrome, and more.
We believe that designing buildings for people who are visually impaired and blind results in architecture that’s even better than current standard designs. Inclusive design focuses on the process of designing for diversity where spaces are accessible to all. And it stresses the importance of consulting with a wide range of people.

On October 3, Jeffry Ricker, Ph.D., Ms. Rosa Calderon, and I had a terrific time speaking with Dr. Ari Grayson’s architecture students at Saddleback College https://lnkd.in/gx8-HB-u.
