Inclusion is an important consideration for any company. Designing inclusive buildings and environments that work for everyone is now a priority. This seminar looks at why designing for the mind and senses is an essential consideration in the built environment. We look at the definition of neurodiversity and the relevant laws and standards that designers need to consider. We discuss how simple design principles associated with layout; lighting; colour; sound; smell and touch can enhance the built environment and surrounding areas.
NAWIC is an international not-for-profit association dedicated to the advancement of women in the construction industry.
Our aim is to support women in construction through their careers, to celebrate and platform their accomplishments, to make a lasting positive impact on the construction industry, and to inspire the next generation of women into construction related roles.
We organise site visits, networking events, socials, topical industry seminars, workshops for personal development, business know-how and more, all of which provide opportunities for our members and allies to meet other construction professionals in a formalised yet relaxed and friendly environment.
