Join Katherine Serrano Sosa, AIA, NCARB, founder of Rooted Architecture Studio to explore sensory-friendly architecture and its impact on neurodivergent individuals. Discover practical strategies and design considerations for creating inclusive environments that prioritize comfort, inclusivity, and well-being. 

 


 In this presentation, we will explore how to create comforting and supportive spaces via: 

1. Sensory Considerations: Review of design and spatial solutions that incorporate sensory-friendly elements in relation to the senses.

2. Clear and Predictable Layouts: Explore the concept of structure and adaptability in spaces to reduce overstimulation and comfort.

3. Nature and Biophilic Design: Understand the importance of incorporating nature and biophilic design elements to help the well-being of the neurodivergent individual.

4. Engaging Neurodivergent Voices in Design: Learn how to involve neurodivergent individuals in the design process through interviews, surveys, and co-design workshops to create truly inclusive and personalized spaces.
