At the heart of this inclusive design education resource is a series of case studies drawn from the Hamlyn Research Associates Programme at the RCA. Each illustrates a particular inclusive design approach undertaken by a young designer in collaboration with a research partner drawn from industry or the voluntary sector.

The intention is to demonstrate how design practice across a range of disciplines - architecture, communication, product design, packaging design etc - can routinely adopt an inclusive approach if such factors are considered at the outset and user consultation is built into the development process.

the challenge
Each case study defines a particular inclusive design challenge, introduces the profile and motivation of the external research partner, and outlines the research methods used to undertaken the project - particular working closely with users.

  
     

results
The results or findings or outputs of the project are then briefly described, as well as the implications and issues that arise that can be applied generically to other projects and products.

  
     

classroom and studio projects
Finally, a series of classroom/studio projects are proposed related to the particular focus of the case study. These are intended as a stimulus for discussion and as a learning aid that can act as a catalyst for self-generated projects.
