Monday, April 1st, 5pm @ UVA: Campbell Hall 153
In his new book Empathic Design: Perspectives on Creating Inclusive Spaces, Assistant Professor of Architecture Elgin Cleckley brings together visionary architects, urban designers, planners and design activists to rethink how and for whom we design public spaces. Join Cleckley and several of the book’s contributors for a discussion about design equity and inclusion. Copies of the book will be available for purchase.
This event also marks the launch of _mpathic design, a research lab, initiative, and design practice created in 2016 by Cleckley. The lab guides the School of Architecture's annual Edward Wayne Barnett / Audrey Spencer Horsley Design Research Studios. Currently, the lab is centered on a new international exhibition visualizing untold narratives of the Transatlantic Slave Trade.
