Join the CSI Boston Chapter on Wednesday, February 8th for dinner, drinks, networking, and a presentation discussing the principles of Universal Design.
The goal of Universal Design is to craft a built environment that reduces the undesirable impact of barriers, to facilitate social participation. Barriers may include obstacles to movement, space and time, access, communication, perception, or expression. Universal Design's fundamental purpose is "to change the form and organization of our material world and even change how we interact with it. It is a tool that extends the effectiveness of human adaptive behavior. It is contextual." (Steinfeld and Maisel)
The presenters:
Ned Collier, AIA, LEED AP, Principal, Education Studio at ICON Architecture, Inc.
Polly Welch, Senior Project Manager, Statewide Accessibility Initiative, Division of Capital Asset Management & Maintenance
The networking reception will begin at 5:15 PM and the presentation will begin at 6:30 PM. Registration deadline & cancellation is, Friday, February 3rd!
