With this webcast, IHCD introduces an expanded education commitment. We will roll out a mix of webcasts, podcasts, interviews, and case studies this year. We believe that sharing stories and real experience delivers the most impact. • Chris Downey lost his sight completely mid-career and created a new identity as the Blind Architect. He digs deeper on every project to create multi-sensory solutions. • Deepak KC, with a physical disability since birth, has worked on global initiatives with the United Nations, the World Bank and the International Union of Architects to make inclusive architecture a central goal of equal rights in the Global South. • Through sharing their experiences, we'll demonstrate the themes that we will continue to explore: the power of design in social equity, the value of lived experience and participatory design, and the role of media. • • Chapters: • 00:00 Introduction to IHCD's expanded education commitment • 01:40 Welcoming Chris Downey and Deepak K.C. • 06:53 Chris Downey's Presentation: Washington State School of the Blind • 19:23 Microsoft Wayfinding Inclusivity Project • 22:17 UC Berkeley Social Justice in Design Studio • 31:44 Virgina Tech Blind Design Workshop • 35:15 Deepak K.C.'s Presentation • 36:26 Universal Access Public Toilet Project in Nepal • 49:15 Table Tennis for NepALL • 59:31 Audience Q A • 01:28:40 Closing Remarks
