What is shared space? And can it work for everyone?
In this conversation hosts Mandy and Tom explore ideas of (Un)Shared Spaces with five key guests: Zoe Partington (Co-Director, The DisOrdinary Architecture Project and CEO, DaDa), Denise Kennedy, (Access Co-ordinator, DaDa), Andrew de Silva (Director and Architect, David Miller Architects), Chithra Marsh (Director, Buttress), Kimberley Corrall (Associate, Buttress) and architectural students Thomas Lockley and Abbey Brady-Hoyle.
As with each episode, this conversation builds on from our recent ‘Many More Parts than M!’ Compendium (launched in early 2024) and explories how we can engage with built environment accessibility in ways that take us beyond conventional checklists and design guidance.
