New Standards: Comfort

The final event in the New Standards series this autumn will reflect on different notions of comfort in the spaces we design and use, how comfort has been standardised, and how we should interrogate this classification to move beyond the limitations of frameworks. JORDAN WHITEWOOD-NEAL will discuss his research addressing disability and the tension between accessibility and retrofitting - exploring the history of disability at the Architectural Association, DR. JOS BOYS will discuss her alternative handbook for ‘architecture, dis/ability and designing for everyday life’ and MARSHA RAMROOP will discuss the intersectionality of inclusion and cultural intelligence.
