EQUITABLE DESIGN

CREATIVE DEGISN

Equitable design aims at designing for groups that have been historically underrepresented and addresses diverse identities, taking into consideration gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, nationality, and abilities.

The design is useful and marketable to people with diverse abilities. This is illustrated in my site though the drive and bicycle access, in addition to the pathways for walking.

The entire site is accessible though these three means of transportation to accommodate those who travel differently. While I understand this site is in Ecuador and is generally hot, I have provided canopy-like structures to provide shade for those who may prefer not to spend their time in the sun.

Additionally, the steepest slope of the site is 5%, making it accessible by wheelchair without the need for railings/ guards.

This creative process to dismantle systems of oppression and (re)design towards liberation and healing by centering the power of communities historically impacted by the oppressive systems being (re)designed.
