Session synopsis:

This seminar will delve into the critical role of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) in the world of commercial design. As businesses and public spaces increasingly recognise the importance of creating environments that reflect and respect the diversity of users, the design community must address how to integrate EDI principles effectively. This session will consider EDI in the context of commercial interiors, providing practical insights and strategies for creating spaces that are welcoming, accessible, and inclusive.
