Knowledge Library
Here you will find a growing universe of knowledge on Universal Design, social sustainability and accessibility. The Knowledge Library brings together research, articles, reports and cases that all contribute to the understanding of a society designed for everyone — regardless of body, ability or life circumstances.
The PhD project maps 270 years of human vision in architecture and design education and points to the need for greater inclusion and diversity in future education.
The text presents Mia Høj Mathiasson's view on how organisations should work with inclusion and universal design as a structural and value-driven approach — rather than a superficial checklist or an isolated committee. She argues that workplaces need to rethink their view of people and create spaces where employees are seen as whole people with changing needs.
World-renowned researcher Edward Steinfeld visited Denmark to talk about universal design and inclusion in urban spaces. He gave presentations to the Bevica Foundation's research network and shared experiences from his long career.
Grates set at an angle and armrests in the middle of benches, so it is impossible to use them as a sleeping place. “The space of the city does not meet the needs of the weakest citizens, and this is a democratic problem,” the professor said.
In this video, Henrik Kasch talks about his PhD project, where he investigates how compensatory aids (E-learning) can be used to increase student engagement and build an inclusive learning practice for 7th graders in English education.
The PhD project investigates tinnitus from the participants' own experiences and everyday life with a focus on sensory methods and a better framework for people with hearing disorders.
What does the perfect door look like? A VR project from DTU simulated wheelchair users' experiences with different door types. The result was an eye-opener for Associate Professor Kristoffer Negendahl: The best door may be no door at all — and the models behind our construction need to be rethought.
A new research project is investigating how digital health systems can be adapted for people with aphasia after a stroke. Using universal design and aphasy-friendly PRO questionnaires, solutions are being tested that can ensure better communication and equity in health care.
Neurodivergent students in computer science degree programs encounter technological, cognitive, and social barriers that they must tackle on their own. Accessibility is seen as an individual responsibility and SPS and universities do not collaborate enough. Universal design can ensure more inclusive learning environments and better support.
