conference programme - Helen Hamlyn Centre - Royal College of Art

PAPER SESSIONS“We are very pleased with the papers presented at Include Asia 2013. As the programme illustrates,we have papers on a wide variety of topics addressing our conference theme of ‘Global Challenges andLocal Solutions’. The papers discuss a wide variety of inclusive design challenges (e.g. improving mobility,making digital tools more inclusive and optimising public spaces). They discuss new tools for addressingthese and other design problems, and provide general perspectives on inclusivity – such as cultural issuesand changes with age. We are inspired by the truly global nature of our presenters and of thetopics addressed, including a number of papers from colleagues in the region.”Stephen Wilcox, Chair, and Rama Gheerawo, Deputy Chair, Include Asia 2013 Review CommitteeSESSION 1A Tuesday 2 July 13.30-15.30, Room 1Transport & TravelChair: Sean Donahue (Art Center College of Design, USA)Remaining mobile is a key to maintaining personal independence and is important in accessing services,social networks and neighbourhoods.
